Who would have thought that we would celebrate the coming of rain? Unfortunately we do not know how much rain there was because it happened during the week hours of the night, and our rain gauge is not here with us. But! I see standing puddles of water, wet driveway, wet deck planks, and a tarp with standing water on it. Somewhat good signs. What we wanted was a twenty four hour drizzle fest with sprinkles to saturate the ground and not all run off the surface immediately, but I’ll take whatever we can get out here after three weeks plus with next to nothing. there’s a reason these northern forest fires are blazing. A couple days of heavy rain would go a long way towards tamping those fire out, or reducing their advancement.
It is Wednesday, hump day, middle of the week-day. Swimming lessons come to a close on Friday for this summer session. The girls have outdone themselves yet again. Proud little fishes! Flag football, reading programs, and swimming lessons all completed this summer. Soon climbing will start up again, which has me excited! I love climbing. We will see if my grip training offers any benefits for my climbing soon enough.
Next week we’ll play golf too. It’s all coming up roses. I can try out my new golf shoes. They came as the correct size, seem comfortable to me while I walked around the house in them. Wasn’t all that hard to attach the spikes either. I’m pumped up! W00t-w00t! Looking forward to shooting 175 out there! Nine on every hole. Three putts, shanks, slices, chunks, bricks, OB and bad lies. It’s all fun once you pick up at least one decent shot off the tee, or a good flip onto the green, or a single excellent putt. Enjoy the small wins and let the garbage drain off you like water off a ducks back. Sunshine, fresh air, alone time with friends, enjoy the little things.
