This morning Woody got up early and walked his four-mile-route...in the rain! Later in the morning some of the neighbor children came over for their school time. They had taken their travel day home day off from school on Friday so had school today. I had had all last week off so was ready to get back into school. Elijah came over first...carrying an umbrella, then Esther...again carrying an umbrella...and then Joy...still raining so still carrying an umbrella...until it was Graham's turn to come over for his sewing lessons...again carrying an umbrella. Woody and Esther made Blueberry Dump Cake which we shared with their family for a lunch dessert. Then Woody and I had sort of a quiet afternoon...good afternoon for napping! I cooked our supper...Chunky Tomato Sauce with Sweet Italian Sausage and Linguini. We ate out supper watching the news and then Woody went to the Monday night prayer meeting at church.
It has rained and never stopped since a little before midnight last night. We haven't had really heavy rains...but as you can see we have had quite a bit of rain...at 6:24pm we had had 1.66 in. since midnight. And, I just checked at 7pm and it is now a total of 1.70 in. Also check out the temperature...it is about 16 degrees cooler outside than in...it never got to 70F today. Pretty cool after so many days of around 100 or higher! Perhaps summer is thinking about ending?
I'm off to plan an art lesson...they want to paint again! We'll see...maybe...but if we do then next week we definitely are going to do something else! Graham told me today that the girls wanted to paint...and, that he did too! Why is painting so intriguing to little ones????
Good to hear the raindrops on the roof! Rain's not over yet!
