Well our weather report lived down to its usual dependable, undependability. On Thursday evening Friday was predicted to have 0% chance of rain. Friday morning same thing. So of course, it poured replete with thunder, lightning, and heavy wind. I have never seen so much sheet lightning. Of course, I left all my power tools out thinking it wouldn't rain till Saturday evening. All the sheet lightning clued me in. I checked the weather report and now rain was at 90%!! Gee thanks kids! So ran up the hill and put everything away as best I could. Just in the nick as it started in with rain and wind as shortly after I got back to the house. Ran out and closed up the carriage houses (because of the heat we leave them open in the summer) and the tool shed. I really need to have my raincoat re-treated.
However, the upside to all this drama is that half inch of duff is now plastered down or washed away for a few days. Also, the idiots racing up and down the driveway won't raise so much dust, well... for a few days anyway. Fire danger is nil now, again for a few days anyway.
Gotta love living in the mountains. Never a dull moment!
