This Week…Finally A Wee Bit of Rain


We’ll take anything we can get and this week we finally received some rain. We actually had more lightning and thunder but something’s better than nothing! 

 

 

You can't cross the sea merely by standing
and staring at the water.
Rabindranath Tagore



It still seems like summer to me but all I’ve seen on television are back-to-school ads and school supplies in the stores. My teacher/niece began this week…back in the classroom…two weeks before school starts.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance. Rabindranath Tagore



The local chocolate shop (Copper Kettle Chocolate Factory) was back open after a week off for the owner to compete in the Iron Man Competition in Alaska. We were talking about supply issues and mentioned that she is having a hard time finding Christmas boxes for her holiday candy. She laughed that while in Alaska she had a hard time getting plastic spoons to stir her coffee!

The butterfly counts not months but moments and has time enough.
Rabindranath Tagore

 


For sports lovers, this has been a pretty good week…Little League World Series regional games, the Field of Dreams game between Chicago and Cincinnati, Astros, and Pro football. 




Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. Rabindranath Tagore

 

Have a glorious weekend!

Hi Kathy I saw on the weather this morning that Houston may have quite a bit of rain coming towards them today.  I hope so!  We've had several days of heavy rain, very windy along with a bit of thunder and lightening.  I love it.  Our pool tho requires a lot of cleaning during all the monsoon storms which we've happy to do!

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker I too am ready for things to be somewhat back to where they were. If my grocery store (a big Texas chain) didn't have its own brands, I think there would be a lot more that I'd be missing. I do remember that last year I ordered Christmas gifts for the children in September!  BTW- always appreciate your actually reading my post.

Michael Jacobs this week I was watching a butterfly and his quote came to mind. 


Kat Palmiotti the lightning was so bad that we fully expected to lose power. 

Brian England having fun watching sports!!!  It's football and baseball.

Hi Wayne Martin I doubt we'll get any until late next week!!! 

Carla Freund oh no...it's too soon for that!!!  I'm not ready for that for at least two months.

I know right? I like a good piece of pumpkin bread or a pumpkin spice coffee but not until it is cool outside.

Bill Salvatore - East Valley Hi and hope that your weekend is going well too. 

Joan Cox I remember when we first moved to FL and we had days and days of sun. I was sick of it and then we hit summer where it rained every afternoon.

Roy Kelley the lightning and thunder were so loud the other morning (1 am) it woke me up but that's all it was...no rain. 

Will Hamm I wish you could as well. I can't remember it being this bad.

Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker I hope you're right. Kickerillo found an old well on the property and they're pumping the water down to part of the lake. It's not a lot but it keeps the water aerated. 

Sharon Tara oh that' sounds nice!!! Enjoy!!!!!

Kathy we keep on getting whether forecasts predicting rain, but we have had very little in the last month.  Hopefully they will be more accurate, because we could sure use the rain.

Hi Kathy - I am glad you are finally getting rain.  Just returned from Florida which was absent the mid day showers.  Rain also cools things off .  Not much rain in Armonk either.

Hi Kathy,
In addition to the boy's Little League World Series, I also found the girls Softball World Series on. That's been fun to watch also. The championship is tomorrow (Monday) if you're interested in watching. It will be televised on ESPN starting at 6:00 YOUR time.  The consolation game is before that at 3:00 YOUR time.

Have a wonderful Sunday.
