Rain Rain Rain

This is really weird. It’s 8 PM and we are sitting in the living room with so much rain coming down. It was so hot today….. In the upper 80’s. We went to breakfast this morning and then home… and while B read the paper I did a load of laundry. We did some things around the house and then had lunch - hamburger and hot dog.
So, it was soooooo hot…. I checked my email and then decided to look at a video. So I went into the second bedroom and watched a video from Netflex… good. So, the landscapers show up… and start to work… and are finishing taking out dead stuff and start putting in new plants and then the mulch and it LOOKS GOOD!!!! OK, I’m looking at my video and then I hear….. Jimmy…. The electrician and he is here to work on the generator… so they do their thing and the generator is in place and he will come back after the propane people come to do their thing.
We were looking at the local news… and they were calling for thunderstorms. At first, they were not around here. Then, around 7 they said over Scranton. And then it got darker and darker… and we had lightning and then thunder and then RAIN… I mean really heavy. I shut some sliding doors as the rain was making the carpet wet. We lost electricity several times… we did turn off the computers. I’m on the laptop and it’s still thundering… it’s 8:30 PM. We really did need the rain…. The TV just went off again… and the thunder is still thundering. I guess this is why we are getting the generator installede. Jimmy was here today to plan how to do the installation. Also, our landscaper was here and planted plants and mulched. Was really a productive day!!!!
So now, here it is at 8:30PM… we had dinner… sausage and peppers from Sunday. Was really good and B really liked it… (that’s nice!!!) B is reading the USA Today and I’m on the laptop… WE ARE SO LUCKY!!!!!
