We had a humdinger of a thunderstorm overnight. Thunder shook the house and caused Frieda to fly through the air. Lots of rain fell and a little hail. We are probably now just in drought and not severe drought. I'd had plans to mow the lawn today, that plan won't happen now. The place is looking scruffy and will need to do so until it's dry.
My son sent me a text asking if we were free on Saturday. He has bad timing, he often asks to visit when we aren't free! Mark is on a tight deadline, and as all accountants seem to do, he procrastinated and now must put the proverbial nose to the grindstone. The son isn't available until October 23rd, which is actually perfect, as Mark has another deadline October 15th. So, we will see him then. Maybe he will take some frozen produce and some pickles home with him.
I don't know why, but this soup seemed particularly good. Maybe it's the changing of the season and how much I like this time of year. Whatever the reason, a soup no different from any other like it was so very good! We have enough for a repeat today.
Oh, last evening during cocktail hour, yes we do that, we were listening to the Guess Who. It made me think of seeing Burton Cummings at a small venue concert. What is memorable about this, other than Burton Cummings, is the concert was interrupted by a voice over the PA system announcing Nixon was pulling us out of Vietnam. The place erupted. The rest of the evening had such a vibrant energy.

You're sounding so good these days. Fall suits you.
All the rain will be worth passing on mowing the lawn. The grass should be getting pretty green out there. Your food photos make me very hungry!!!
Thank you, Boud! I do love this time of year, especially after the horrible summer we had.
Lori, it has greened up, as the trees are turning color! You really need to try the recipe for the focaccia. It's too simple to be true!
We have rain today, it got really dark like night time this morning. Nice rain! Yes those leaves will dry out in a day or two...I have lots to mulch.
Far Sude, we had rain in the morning then overcast and windy. The trees haven’t dropped their leaves yet. That will be another task!
That would have been amazing to hear, the loud speaker announcing pulling out of Vietnam during a concert.
I heard that from my Grandpa who had TV [we didn't in our tiny cottage].
It looks like mowing time for the first time in months around here!
Val, it was. It wasn't that there were plans to pull out. We were in the process. That is another story of the mess we had in Vietnam.
I've had tv all of my life! I rarely watch it these days, but still have 3 of them. It's too hot to mow, it could reach 90 today and it's humid. The Twin Cities Marathon was cancelled this morning, a couple of hours before it was to start. This isn't expected in October.
