Morning Fog Clouds Rain
It was a foggy morning with clouds down to the ground. It had rained more in the night; everything is beginning to feel that it has had a good soaking, maybe for a little while anyway even though it's already drying out. Hopefully it will mean fewer forest fires. Even with the moisture the air is still hazy and smoky. It's been cool and comfortable just reaching 70 during the day and in the 50s at night. We had a rain shower about 3 p.m. It didn't last long and it's cleared off more since then. And yet there could be a storm lurking over to the west. It's supposed to get warmer and dryer by next week. As far as I'm concerned it could just keep on raining. The Weather Channel says Casper is under a flash flood warning but that's a ways from here. <P> Yesterday I got quite upset about all the broken electronics, and feel more relaxed this morning, at least temporarily. I have to deal with both Sony and Hughes again, probably not today. Sony wants me to fax them my receipt and that means going somewhere to a fax machine. I'll have to tell Hughes to have Fed Ex come and pick up the damaged receiver. <P> Today I got half the kitchen cabinets cleaned and polished – the bottom half - and cleaned the bathroom this morning.
Beverly called saying they will be here next Saturday and that Debbie is coming too, so I'm happy about that. Debbie wants to go as far as St. George and stay in a motel on Friday. Clayton is getting out of scout camp somewhere near there Saturday morning. They will pick him up and come on up here. She's going to research Stanley ID on line for a short trip we can take together while they are here. Jackie, Charm and Sheral also called and I really enjoyed getting to visit.
This evening I took the dogs out with the ATV to get the mail, I've been doing that more often lately and they love to go. Saw another huge bunch of chickens; they were everywhere…..100? The sun went down blood red again. Joe wants me to help him put bales up at the haystack in the morning. I said o.k., although I don't know how many times I've told him I couldn't lift things any more without my back getting really bad. If it doesn't feel good, I'll just have to quit. He says the stack is falling down, and I know he doesn't want to have to do it either.
Sunset After The Rain a Couple Of Nights Ago
