Rain, Rain, Go Away

It started Sunday afternoon and has been raining ever since. We had a leak in our roof and the roofers had started putting new shingles on. Thankfully the half of the roof they got done was the half that had the leak in it. So even though there is a river in our backyard, we remain dry and leak free inside. I do believe there is more rain in Tennessee then Illinois. At least there has been this year. Here it may be sunny and hot in the morning and be pouring down rain in the afternoon and then be sunny again before night. In Illinois you can see a storm coming for days. I think this must be due to the hills and mountains in Tennessee. We are headed up to Illinois this weekend for a visit and I hope the weather for the trip is good. I hate driving in the rain and that would mean that I would have to have the windows up and since there is no air conditioning in the car it can get rather stuffy.

Settling Down

I just realized how long it has been since I posted here. Over a month! Yikes! I've got to be more consistent. I assure you that my lack of posts is not due to the uneventfulness of my life. On the contrary, it is mostly due to the inaccessibility of the internet. It is just not very convienent to have to write posts at the library. I suppose I should be thankful that the library supplies free internet to its patrons. I definantly am at that, but it still doesn't change the fact that it takes at least an hour sometimes two to get to the library and back. The library that is 5 minutes from home is moving down the road so it is not open yet.

I didn't know it could be so hot for so long a time in one place. It has consistantly been over 95 degrees for the past 2 or 3 weeks. I'm very much looking forward to fall. I hope the falls here and as good as they are in Illinois.
