RAIN

Thought of the moment. It was raining – hard. Hard enough to stop and watch. For several minutes. And go look at our 10 yards of mud dirt waiting to be spread about – another day. And now, just a minute later, the sun is shining. Must be a heck of a rainbow somewhere.

But earlier this day we held, or helped put on, a 50th birthday party for a good friend. This was held at a batting cage, with other more than 40’s in attendance to remember that age is only a number. A little pizza, a little cake, and voila – a party.

Earlier than that we were puttering around, dishes, starting split pea soup to put the ham bone to good use. That was until two things conspired to stop the soup. 1) Realizing I could not fit the suggested cooking time in before said 50th party. 2) Power outage. We never lose power at our house. Well, almost never. There was the time the crow committed suicide on our transformer. But the rain was only lightly falling, and the wind was almost negligible. Still 1-2 hours without power.

Bad news from the north. Ashlan has the flu. Send your good vibes her way.
