"What a day for a daydream, dreaming about my bundle of joy", wait, that sounds like words from a song of the 60s. We are now in the 20s and I wish you a good morning.
Allow me to tell you about, "the Ford's ole rain gage". I did venture out to the rain gage this morning to see how much rain we received yesterday. I should note that yesterday afternoon at about 4:30 we went to the front porch to enjoy some happy time.
First, I should say it was very cloudy, which made it a dark afternoon. We could hear some thunder off in the distance and Tres was not happy with the thunder. As we sat down in the chairs the wind started to blow. The wind continued to increase its velocity and after about one minute we decided to go inside. We had been in the house for about 30 seconds when the rain began to fall.
I went to the so-called office and looked at the security monitors, and it was blowing and raining. Tres was under the desk as he does not like storms. I thought about our cat Molly, she doesn't like storms either. I opened the door to the garage and Molly came in. Tres was under the desk and Molly was laying on the floor almost against the wheels of my chair. It rained for quite a while as I sat there watching the Three Stooges. They actually had one that I do not remember seeing in the past.
I should note, I did have an adult beverage when we had gone outside, and I did bring it back into the house when we came in. I did consume the adult beverage as I watched the TV, but I did not enjoy it like I do when I sit outside. It is kind of like I am not supposed to have an adult beverage in the house.
I guess I have gotten carried away trying to explain the rain and storms effects. This morning when I checked the rain gage, I expected to see 3 inches of water in the gage but, there was actually a little over 4 inches of water in the gage. We received 2 inches in the first rain and 2 inches in the second rain. I think the drought is broken.
Topic change: Patrick and Karla came up yesterday and Dave Claire and Alex also came to our house. We all went out to lunch together and the food was good, but the discussions were even better. After eating Patrick and Karla came to our house and we visited for a while. Pat helped me with my emails on my phone; I thank they now work again but I have not tried them yet today.
No big plans for today, we may go out to lunch and then who knows what we will do. My favorite wife might allow me to take her to the cheap store after we eat.
We had a good day yesterday, and hope your day today is as good, while we all stay safe in all we do.
Don the Ford
