This is what the front yard looked like this morning when I went out to get the newspapers. You can see Jarrett's white pine tree on the right side of the picture. Thankfully, I saw NO skunks.

Sunday, July 5, 2009 - Happy Fourth of July Plus One. We did NOT have very good weather yesterday for the Fourth of July festivities. It rained all day - from 8 a.m. until some time around 5 or 6 p.m. We only got 1/4 inch of precipitation for the entire day which totally managed to put a "damper" on feelings of happy fourthness.

Although, it did finally let up so the towns that were exploding their fireworks last night were able to do so. However, who would want to sit on WET grass??? Make that wet and COLD.

This morning, we have sun as you can see in the above photo taken at 7:07 a.m. CDT. Good news is that the weather for the coming week is going to be normal. How can that be?? I even heard that it might be close to 90 on Thursday BUT then, we'll be getting thunderstorms. Will this horrible weather ever end??!!!

Better go put out my flag -- couldn't do it yesterday which really bummed me out. We're having our 4th party today because who would want to sit around the pool in the rain with the temperature in the 60's? No one I know. haha

Happy Fifth of July. later, djb
