This is my favorite rain themed song.

We’ve been getting more than our normal share of Monsoon rain this year. I think we’ve had 4 good downpours in the last 2 weeks. Normally when the Monsoons roll through we only get a few drops here while all the surrounding areas take the brunt of the storms. It’s been a nice change of pace.

This weekend we have had the added bonus of cooler temperatures so today Recliner Man and I did a little bit of work in the back yard. Cooler temps here just means that it didn’t break 100, so after a bit of work we just  sat and enjoyed the nice breeze. Of course all this cooler air and rain has dropped the pool temp a bit and it is just slightly below my comfort zone. I don’t think summer if going to give up that early so I’m sure I’ll be back in it in a few days.

I’ve been a real slacker on the birthday posts this year. I never got around to posting pictures for The Boy and this past Monday I let Princess Shannon’s big day go by without a post. It’s kind of funny that she didn’t call me up and ask where her embarrassing photos were. Hmmm…  Yesterday was my 53rd birthday. The Boy took me out for lunch and Recliner Man took me out for dinner. At the end of all that eating we swung by Krispy Kreme and picked up a free dozen doughnuts. I never knew that they give you free doughnuts on your birthday. Billie told me about it when I saw her the day before. Yay for Billie!
