Taking a break


We had a nice rain overnight, with a trailing line of severe thunderstorms about 1 p.m. At our house, we got about 10 minutes of rain so hard we couldn't see across the yard, plus very high winds. And then it was gone and the sun came out. As far as I've heard, there hasn't been any damage in the area. This surely did bring a lot of snow farther north of here. For you folks north of the Ohio River, but I'm sure glad that we didn't get anything like that.

The daughter of a friend has opened a coffee shop in New York City. She brought us a pound of special coffee beans from Nicaragua. Yum! We'll be brewing some soon. Thanks, again, J.

I finished a good book tonight. Dana Stabenow is one of our favorite mystery authors. She has several mystery series set in her native Alaska. This new book, Prepared for Rage, is more of a thriller, with characters in the Coast Guard. It's definitely a page-turner.

We'll be heading out for Charleston and the Southern Conference Basketball Tournament in the morning - leaving after John's PT session. Everything is stacked by the front door and ready to load in the car. We won't have internet access tomorrow evening, so I'll have to take a day off. I'm assuming the motel will have WiFi, and I'll be back on Thursday.

Today's picture shows the kind of bird that visits in our yard.
