rain and fog

Last night it was pouring rain. After getting home from work I watched the Olympics for awhile with Dan, then we went to bed. We were all snuggled together, warm and soft, and fell asleep listening to the rain drumming on the roof. It was incredibly peaceful.

It is very rainy and foggy today, as the snow is melting. Tonight we are supposed to get heavy rain for hours, and a very dangerous windstorm. Dan promised he would make sure that we have fuel on hand for the generator, as well as candles, matches, and flashlights available in key places throughout the house in case we lose the electricity. I suppose I should bring in some firewood as well.

It should be interesting driving home in the wind, if it is indeed as strong as what they are predicting. I think I shall take the back roads home and risk downed trees rather than the freeway and risk being blown about in my small but tall Jeep.

Last night was high school wrestling team districts. Our team went up against one of the top ranked teams in the state and was immediately eliminated. Saturday will be individual districts. Then Bill's season should be pretty much done, other than helping out with an occasional tournament for youngsters.

One down, one to go.  Four more years and then I will never have to sit in another hot gym.

Tomorrow and Monday the kids will be home from school on a mini break. It should be great having them around.
