Countdown to Spring, Weekly, Sun. 08/13 -- Sat. 08/19

We have the house opened up. We made it through yesterday and last night without a/c, don't know how long we'll last today. We finally got some rain over night. It was so heavy it woke me up and then I listened to the thunder. We got .7s inches of rain. Been reading the Sunday paper and doing some housework. Not much planned for the afternoon.

Took the car in for some work this morning. Went local and not to the dealer. Ended up being a long wait but doing crossword puzzles passed the time. I had almost read everything in an old People's magazine when the car was finally done. They also had coffee which helped. They are predicting storms for later. They are out over western Pennsylvania now. We have the house opened up.

Overcast and in the low 70's. We have the window opened. We got about .75 of an inch of rain overnight with more expected later today and tonight. Got out to get the cat's dental food at the vet this morning. Housework for the afternoon.

We are having lovely weather today, 78 and sunny with a breeze. The house is opened up. Went grocery shopping this morning. The cold cases in the deli section and a lot of the produce section were covered in plastic with signs that said dry ice was in use and not to reach under the plastic. Don't know what happened. After lunch I went to the small market and got my produce and some marinade they carry that is not at the big store. Otherwise on the computer and cleaning the kitchen.

Slow day today, although I did get some things done this morning with more to do this afternoon. It is 73 and feels damp. It is overcast but I don't think rain is predicted for today, but it is predicted for tomorrow.

The weather is beautiful here, low 80's, sunny, and breezy. The two cats have both spent some time on the screened-in porch. Have gotten some things done and did some reading.
