Deluge

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 68 degrees, high 75 degrees, cloudy, windy, rain

Rain was promised today, and arrived in a deluge about 1400 hours. It rained very hard for about an hour, with a steady drizzle for another hour. The wind was blowing hard all day, with winds to 35 mph. This area was in a drought last year, but the drought appears to be over. Since we have been here, it has rained an average of once a week. As a result, the vegetation is lush and green, and the ponds are overflowing. It has been great for the flowers and shrubs.

We have gotten the house ready for the real estate market, and will make a decision on whether to place it with a Realtor in the next week or so or hold it until the market gets better. The market is probably better here than most of the rest of the country, but that's not saying much. Now that we are in a maintenance mode, we can spend less time keeping it looking good. This week, we have been spending more time at home, and it has been nice.

Thomas will be twelve years old on Monday, and Terri is allowing him to invite some friends to the house for a sleepover tomorrow night. We will help her get everything together and leave early. Who knows, maybe we will have time this weekend to do some sightseeing. If so, I'll look for some interesting camera shots.

More later, be safe.
