Okay, so it's not Thursday, but it's Thursday +1, so I'm doing this.
I don't want to suggest that we control the weather, but see, it's like this... We've noticed that every time Hubs mows, it rains the next day. Except he hasn't had to mow in a while and now we're in a drought. Also, back when I was fishing way more often, it seemed like every time I said I was going fishing the next day, I'd wake up to it raining. Last night, I was talking about fishing this morning and I woke up to rain. And another thing, I started thinking that maybe I'd still go fishing, because it's warm and warm rain is nice to fish in. I no sooner thought that then the sky flashed and there was a big clap of thunder. So, yeah, we control the weather. To a certain extent, otherwise I could make it stop and go fishing. ROFL
If you think I actually believe that, you don't know me very well. I do think it's a funny coincidence, though. Well, we were laughing about it.
Man, it is pouring outside. Yay! The last time it rained like this was September 21st. Hell, that was the last time it rained at all. And we only got like two rains in September. It's been dry here since like July, I think. I'm not sure if this is going to spark a trend, but it's nice to hear rain on the roof again. The cats, of course, are confused and have vacated their spots to probably hide under the bed.
So, I bought worms yesterday from my regular dealer. When I started buying worms from her, they were $2.90 for a dozen. Then she raised the price to like $3.15. Yesterday, worms were $4.23 (after tax). Frickin' inflation.
My regular worm dealer is an older gal who runs a little corner store. I wondered if she'd recognize me because 1) it's been a couple years since I've been there and 2) she's a stroke victim. Yep, she remembered me. Unfortunately, she's gotten more crochety since I was last there, so I've got to work on rebuilding the report we had. :shrug: Life happens.
Fall colors here are really in full swing. It's lovely. And it makes me happy. I do wish we had more maples here, so there would be more red added into the palette, but even though I didn't get to choose the painting, I still enjoy the art.
And wish that profoundness, I'll let you get on with your day. Have a great one, wherever you are.
Please come fishing down here! We desperately need the rain! We had over 20 grass/wild fires yesterday and there's still one burning down by the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. I plead the fifth on belief because I raised a weather witch...just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteIt's so dry here that everything just turned brown and dropped leaves. In fact, this is the dryest October in history and that includes the dust bowl years.
Oh, but the economy is awesome! *typed in sarcasm font*
I have self-publishing-writer brain at the moment. That's pretty much been my week, with much help from my "village." I waiting for the caffeine to kick in before I start the upload process. The book should start going live over the weekend and next week.
Enjoy your rain. I'm jealous! I fully intend to watch the World Serious, maybe some soccer if Stormy has games, and veg this weekend. Hope you get to go drown some worms soon! Make sure your fishing license is up-to-date!
