PORCH PONDERINGS

Perchance some rain?

There are high hopes for rain today. It is very cloudy, hazy from smoke but the wind picked up. The fire siren went off about two hours ago. There is a fire out of town.

I am sick to death of this hot weather. 100° yesterday, about 90° today. I know it's summer, but come on! We're now halfway into the hot month of August.

Last night at play practice we chatted with the cook for the dinner we have two nights. We decided on a menu. Then we chatted about the dates for the play. I thought we had it decided, but no! We're pushing it back a week so we can practice more. Whatever. I just let them know the last week of rehearsal I have a retreat already scheduled, for SE M0ntana Tourism. I will not cancel my attendance for that. So that one night, two nights before the performance, I will be absent. Worked out fine with the play the week before. Whatever.

So off I go to watch the sky. If it starts to rain, I'll dash out to cover the plants in the garden. Hail right now would be the end of all plants.
