Rainy July

Sun, rain, sun, rain, sun. That sums up our Saturday.

While we DO get sunshine in July, it is actually our rainiest month of the whole year in these parts.

And when the rain comes, it can be ferocious. I got caught in a downpour this afternoon while out grocery shopping that actually hurt as it pelted my skin, the drops were so big and hard. I did consider taking a photo of the storm, but thought better of it to save my phone from being soaked!

We like to say that in these parts we grow two things really well. No three.

Grass. Trees. Weeds.

Thus whenever it wasn't raining today, Dave was outside dealing with some of those weeds ... all the way down our lane, and then some! It literally took him hours to do that today. He's a good man. 😉

But the rain keeps everything green and growing, and we like that!

When the sun does shine, we love sitting out on our porch, as we did this evening for dinner. But with more rain in the forecast (like, every single day next week), we'll see how much sitting out there we do in the coming days.

At least it's pretty to look at through the windows.😂
