Rain, rain, come to stay

Yesterday we had a spit of rain. Nothing to speak of, and certainly not enough to even knock the dust off of the plants. Everyone's yards are crispy and turning shades of brown (if they haven't already), and very few folks are watering their lawns on a daily basis any more, as I witnessed incredulously in years past.

Guess the $ money drought is beginning to open a few wasteful eyes. 'bout time!

It's rained several times off and on today already, and this last little while was a nice slow soaking sort. The humidity has dropped, and the temps are going to be hard-pressed to climb into those high eighties this afternoon...as the weathergoofs were predicting.

You will hear no complaints from this camp. None!

Karl slept in today, past noon! I woke him to check on how he feels, and suggested he remain in bed if he feels weak, but stay awake for a while and read or do something quiet. The pain in his chest has now been absent for nearly two days, and he is regaining his appetite. The diarrhea we have been dreading (as one of the side effects of the Colchicine) began a day ago, but was replaced by soft stool. All good news to be sure.

Oh, and by the way, both boys are taking classes this fall. Brian will try his hand at yoga and composition (at OCC), while Karl takes an experimental animation class and a Maya course. Should make for a busy fall for all of us. If I had any extra cash, I would be busy in a classroom, too.

More another time.
