Well Thursday finally found us with a thunder storm late in the evening with some much needed rain but we didn't need the lightning and wind which flickered the lights at times. The rain was awesome and I'm sure most of it ran off into the gutters as the ground is so dry, oh well it was a blessing to end the drought.
I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet moments to honor my LORD after posting this ramble to give thanks and lift several up by name for comfort and healing, all are holding as of this moment. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for two hours of pickle ball play with good players and left whupped with a stop off at the library on the way home for a couple new reads. Nancy was off to the dentist so I piddled around in the yards and gardens harvesting a nice mess of kale and beet greens for the salad bowl as well as hand watered the gardens and yards. I'll have to mow today as the hand watering has greened up my yards despite the drought.
After a lite lunch I headed in to read the afternoon away until it was time to head out to the Tracy's for supper with the Botbyl's. Patrick's sister and her husband were visiting from Reno whom we have spent many visits together in the mountains and it was a pleasure to see them again after nearly 5 years ago. They are here with their kids visiting Disney world. Katryn had a delicious Italian supper prepared and they had their next door condo neighbor as well who is a single over to meet and eat with us. It was a delightful visit and the food was awesome. We tuned into the Ray's and Lightning game as well and both teams won last evening. The Rays were up 14-3 in Chicago and Lightning won 4-2 in Toronto, finally.
We got back around 9'ish and then a big storm hit with strong winds but some much needed rain coming down in sheets. We didn't lose power but came close a couple of times, LATER
