Rough weather

July 2 – I was awakened  by thudding  on the roof  and thought  we were  in a  hail  storm.   I looked out at the picnic table expecting to see clear rocks  thudding on it but it  was just  BIG drops of rain.  Bill got up  after me  and was  looking for  the same thing.   It  was a cold  and nasty morning.  Poor Bill had to leave in it to drive to Idaho Falls for a doctor appointment.  It wasn’t til the afternoon but he was  running an errand  for the park  manager and  had some things to get for us as well.  He hoped to get  his hair cut but  said by the time he  located all the places and did the shopping it was time for his appointment and then he was stopping in Rexburg at Walmart and Dave’s Jubilee in Ashton for his homemade  sausage! It’s so good, I will take a few pounds home when we leave!

So Bill rolled in about 7.  I didn’t bother cooking, I had an apple with almond butter about 6 and that was it!

The view behind us

While he was gone I cleaned all my counters and backsplash, made a new brownie recipe that is super rich!  Did a load of laundry, put our my hummingbird feeder, put out a string of lights, put 2 coats of spray paint on my shower caddy, made hotel and car rentals reservations for Jared to go to Ohio and pick up our cedar siding, and checked in with our bosses.  I did not get my ironing done or my shower caddy re-hung as I noticed the trim it hangs from is coming off the wall.  I need to charge the drill and drill holes to screw it back up.

All in all it was a busy day!  The sun finally came out around noon but it never got past 64 out.  Not that I’m complaining!  I invited Gina and Rick to eat with us for the 4^th!  She was very happy to be invited and more so when I told her not to bring anything!  Bill got corn on the cob today and I have my menu all planned.

Tomorrow is our first day of work.  Not sure what I’m going to be doing for sure, but I’m flexible!
