Went to bed to thunder and lightening. I don't know how long it rained....cause for the first time in ages I didn't wake up till morning. I had the alarm set for 7 a.m. and I woke up at 6:50 and waited for it to go off. I have it set for radio instead of a buzzer, and the song that was playing was "I Love the Rainy Nights" so appropriate for this morning. It's still overcast and 60 degrees....but the lake is calm and I've seen the hummingbird already at the feeder. I'll wait and fill the other feeders when I return from a Lake Association Meeting this morning to discuss the "no wake rule" in effect right now on our lake (and about 10 others in the Annandale area). Which means you can't do any tubing and Phil has to troll from the boat launch to the spot he fishes on our lake....which takes forever. So you pretty much can't do anything. I didn't see one boat on the lake last night, and not one boat fishing by the weed patch this morning.
Yesterday after oversleeping, I just made it to get unplugged at noon. Then I came home and started packing and finish washing clothes and messing around with the computer again and then decided I'd wait till the mail came before I left....well the mail didn't come till 4:20, and then I remembered that I needed to sign up for a "55 and Alive" class to get the discount for my car insurance...so I drove over to SLP Park and Rec office (the only place I could find a class that happens before Sept. 24, the deadline for getting my discount this year) and did that, filled up with gas at Holiday where I had a 7 cent coupon, and headed for the lake...it was now 5:10 but I finally got here and found that cousin Judy had been here in my absence and brought me a new hummingbird feeder and filled it, and the hummingbirds are loving it. For the first time this morning I saw two actually eating at the same time for a second or two...till one chased the other away. I did fill the oriole feeder with grape jelly, and even though it caught some rain water, the oriole was here already this morning too.
Watched that sloppy Twins game last night, and then with no news available in the area turned on HGTV and by about 10:15 I fell asleep and didn't wait up till about 12:15 when the lightening and thunder started followed by the rain. So I took all my evening pills and headed for bed.
This morning, I'm going to that meeting at 9 a.m., and then I'll run into the farmer's market and get some good bread, and then I hope cousin Judy will stop in on her way home from the cabin her family has been staying in for the last week. Don't know if anyone else will be here....I hear that Bill has taken off for a baseball weekend with his guy friends and they should be at the Cleveland game this evening. I'll have to watch for that, and Kim is going to a family reunion in Blooming Prairie. So I won't see their family either. If it clears up like it's supposed to it might be a nice late afternoon and evening...and tomorrow is supposed to be great. Love and Prayers, m
