This afternoon, after Lydia gets out of dance class we (Kelsey, Andy, Lydia, Nolan, Kathy & I) leave for a week at Gulf Shores Alabama.
We have finally received enough rain that we are starting to get some runoff, at least at our house. The water level in our pond is raising faster than the amount of rainfall we are receiving. The level is still nearly a foot below the overflow pipe. With only a 50% chance of rain one day out of the next ten there isn't much danger of it overflowing in the near future.
Temperature was in the low 40's last night and is supposed to be in the high 30's tonight. After than only 2 nights out of the next 10 with overnight lows as low as the high 40's. It is time to finally retire the outdoor wood boiler for the season. I will leave a fire in it when we leave this afternoon but unplug the forced draft combustion fan. It will simmer for awhile but eventually go out because it won't get enough oxygen to support continued combustion.
Anthony was here Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. He taught a class in the St. Louis area on Wednesday so he took the opportunity to come for a visit. It was good to see him.
Not much news from here.
God is good, may He bless you and yours.
