Home Is Where My Story Begins

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

I was dodging raindrops to run outside and take this picture.  It poured all day long, yesterday.  It felt like fall and I was craving hot cocoa.

The good thing about the rain, is that my garden is very green and lush.  The plants love all of this water.


The newly planted grass seed is very happy too.


The bad thing – it’s summer and it’s been raining nonstop.

Now for the ugly.  Here’s our 7 day forecast for the Seattle area.  Looks like we’ll be getting a little break today, but then it’s back to rain.


Happy Summer.
Kind of.

    Here is the forecast for the next 7 days for my area (Central KY):
    This Afternoon Sunny Hi 87 °F
    Tonight Clear Lo 63 °F
    Thursday Hot Hi 100 °F
    Thursday Night Clear Lo 73 °F
    Friday Hot Hi 101 °F
    Friday Night Mostly Clear Lo 72 °F
    Saturday Hot Hi 101 °F
    Saturday Night Mostly Clear Lo 75 °F
    Sunday Hot Hi 100 °F

    Wish we could swap out a few days. We are so dry that the garden and flowers are withering away and the grass is crunchy when you walk across it. Hopefully you will warm up soon and we will cool down soon and get some much-needed rainfall. Love your blog!

    Blessings,

    Our son lives in Sammamish–it always seems to be the direct opposite of our weather! It is blistering hot and desert dry here in western Pa.–Jan

    Boo! And, of course, I was home yesterday and had to go to work today. At least I can eat dinner outside tonight.
