*** Who knew it would be a Monsoon season?!?! Obviously not me, or Farmer’s Almanac.***
On this topic, I should mention what happened the other day. We invited friends over for dinner on Sunday, 5 pm. This couple has a very busy schedule between work, travel, and a large family. So we usually book a get-together about 4-6 weeks ahead of time.
Well, on Sunday morning, my weather app said 99% chance of rain starting around 5 or 6. It looked like there was a HUGE storm headed our way on the radar. I thought to myself, “just great! Hubby will get soaked while grilling the chicken” and “I better find an umbrella for him to use.”
Periodically checked the weather app, and it continued to say 99% chance of rain. As it got closer to the arrival time, the sky was getting cloudy. It has been clear and sunny most of the day. I thought, “I hope they can get inside before it starts pouring.”
Well, wouldn’t you know, I checked the weather app again, and THIS TIME, it indicated that there was only a 5% chance of rain, and that it has totally moved south of us without hitting us at all!! Nary a drop!
We did stay inside the sunroom for most of the time, other than about 30 minutes which we spent outside chatting and sharing updates on our families. We had a wonderful time as usual. Hubby grilled the chicken and I tweaked a southern bbq sauce with some fresh peaches from our orchard market. Fresh corn on the cob picked on Friday morning and green beans (also picked fresh on Friday morning) almandine rounded out the dinner. More rave reviews.
Our friends brought over homemade “Better than Sex” cake for dessert. Positively scrumptious! (Funny, I had never heard of this cake.)
It was a fun evening with no rain! Who knew? Not the weather guessers!
I got the rain shower we needed overnight so I can skip watering this morning. Score!
Looks like dry and cooler weather after tomorrow, so I will be well acquainted with the garden hose again before long. So far this season it’s only been used for a radiator flush for the big F-350, LOL!
Canning the ‘Jalapeno Pickle Relish’ this morning, and my other Mrs. Wages mixes are to be delivered today, so more pickles to come.
