Good Rain and Sunshine

This week finally brought us a nice soaking rain. It was an on and off drizzle on Tuesday, and then a good steady rain yesterday. Today was a beautiful day, although technically we are still in a drought because summer was so dry.


 Skywatch and more from this afternoon:


Charlie watched for friends to come to the dog park. Happily, his friend Ryleigh showed up. After he got tired, I drove us to Edinburg to try to fix the disposal in my condo, which is vacant and up for rent. 

We crossed Stony Creek. The water level looked normal.



I did it! I fixed the disposal, saving myself a few hundred dollars. Basically I used a mop handle to check that the basket was clear and then used my phone camera to locate the reset button underneath.

Edinburg’s annual festival is this weekend and vendors are already getting set up.


After I took Charlie home, I went back out to pick up groceries that I had ordered online. That way I didn’t have to leave him alone very long. He still does not like staying by himself, but he did well this time.

  3. I'm sure your cute condo will rent soon. Here we have much more demand for mid-range housing than is available. People who work in our businesses often have to travel miles to work. We just got enough rain to pull a bit out of drought conditions.

  6. The first picture looks like prisms in the sky - really liked it. Congrats on your repair. My late childhood best friend loved fixing stuff. Me, not so much. But what a feeling of accomplishment it gives. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
