Waiting for the sunshine

It rained this morning, just like the friendly, cheery, over-the-top meteorologist said it would.  I've never been one to throw things at television sets just because I don't like what I'm hearing (something my dear departed father was fond of doing, ha) but the temptation was almost unbearable after I heard the forecast for rain, rain, and yes, more rain.  I would hate to be a weatherperson, especially this year. 

Despite all the rain, the rudbeckias and coneflowers are blooming by the bushel!

The quarry pond is at an all-time July high, too.  Usually we battle with low-water levels, so this is a first.

Since it is so wet out, we are thinking about taking a small road trip today....we shouldn't run away from the work, but it will be here when we get back, right??

See you soon!
