Rain, rain, rain

The thunder and rain started here about 3-4 a.m., and it rained until midafternoon. We had some thunderclaps that were really scary, but no wind or stuff around our house. There were reports of trees down other places in the area, though. We got nearly 1.5" of rain, and that was great!
It was a cool day, but the forecast shows highs in the 90s during the upcoming week. Oh, well, Riverbend (our 10-day music festival) starts on Friday, and it's always miserably hot during that time.

I hadn't washed clothes since before the trip to the wedding, so there was LOTS of laundry. I did 5 loads, including the towels and table linens from our guests. At least that's done for the next week, though - and there won't be nearly as much next time.

Ken has checked in. He's gotten all the prep work done for his radiation, and that will be starting a week from Monday. He'll have 7 weeks, plus some more chemo. He's going to rent a place from an extended stay hotel and drive his own car - probably staying most of the time. He sounds upbeat, and just ready to get it over with.

Today's photo is another view of Bald River Falls.
