It's a chilly morning. Sunrise was lovely with horizon shades of pink, flesh and pale orange fading to a cobalt sky. The day started out totally clear with nothing even on the radar. By 9 it was cloudy.
We got a lot of rain. The pool had to be pumped out a little because it was running out the skimmer bucket. The wheelbarrow had about 5 inches in it. So we probably got at least 3.5 to 4. The water in the pool felt warm but that was in comparison to the cold air I'm sure. Working with that - bringing the water level down and shocking - was a very cold process.
It's supposed to be cold tonight - low 40s. I haven't moved my tropicals out of the sunroom yet, so it shouldn't be a problem. We didn't get hail and the plants I moved into the vegetable garden yesterday seem quite content with the whole arrangement.
I had a cancellation this morning, so I will leave a little early to go pick up Olivia for the weekend. The morning reading was about promises to trust when things are going 'crazy' in your life, about never-ending love along side personal responsibility. The prayer time was full but sweet with a small curious on-looker.
When she got up, she asked me if we were going to Brahms because we didn't go yesterday like I said we would. I told her yes and explained how the day would go. She thought a minute or two and said "We have 6 things to do: Feed the fish, go to Brahms, eat breakfast, teach your lessons, pick-up Olivia, and teach some more classes." That's about it with several side jobs thrown in for efficiency and comfort.
Hope your house is dry and safe, your coffee is hot and your day is a blessing.

Sounds like a pleasant day indeed, with flesh tones in the east and deep sky to the west hinting at the day to come. Sadly we missed those same life giving rains by 60 miles or so. Today’s dawn was cool in the singular meaning. A troubled sky would have been more appropriate as I awaited the verdict from the healers. Patience is not one of my virtues. But I knew the answer anyway, and wanted to be proven wrong.
ReplyDeleteStill the coffee was hot, the days troubles are sufficient, and there is a blessing somewhere.
Did a lot of running around today...for Wes...and Julie went with and we all had lunch...it was a calm in the middle of the storm....we are taking it easy tonight.
