A not-so-hot day


Margaret got 1.25" of rain last night - about 1 hour west of us. They were thrilled for their garden. They have a well, so do irrigate with that water. They're actually forecasting normal temps for us by the end of the week - in the high 80s. I'll believe that when I see it.

Super quiet day today. John has asked a computer genius friend to come over to try to clean up the desk top computer. The first thing, of course, is to be sure everything is backed up. So that's what he's been doing today. And I was deleting more and more stuff. I don't mind doing it - it's just going through it to be sure we don't throw away something crucial. Once he emptied the recycle bin, and defragged, our available space went from 21% to 41%. I'd never thought of simply "taking the garbage out".

Not much on TV tonight. We watched last night's taped episode of Monk, and then The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith. We like him, and his son was great as the little boy. But this was a seriously saccharine movie - way too predictable and sweet.

Kate wrote that they were back home from leaving Andy at school. They had some twinges of "empty nest", but they'll get over it, I'm sure.

Today's picture is another from our morning at Valley of the Gods.
