It's Raining Again

I know in August we are going to be wishing for rain but I sure wish we could have some sunshine and warmer temperatures now.

Yesterday Michael put up some more rocks on the front of the garage and I spent the day getting ready for our Bar-b-Que and piddling. Mother Nature did not cooperate and our planned outdoor on the deck party turned into an inside party and with 9 people, my house can get crowded! Jill, Terry and their daughter Keri, Nancy and Geoff, and Robyn and Claire joined us for hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill. Jill made a dessert to die for--over near Red Lodge is a restaurant called the Grizzly Bar and they make a dessert of vanilla ice cream rolled in miniature chocolate chips drizzled with raspberry sauce--Jill copied it--I could have eaten more than one for sure!!

Today Michael installed a new hot water tank, the one that controls our radiant floor heat was kaput--there sure were a lot of loud words coming from that area of the basement!

I spent the afternoon finishing up that blasted stitch in the ditch on my Aunt's quilt--now I get to do the fun stuff.

As I type this, a storm is moving across and it is raining again!

On our walk yesterday morning, this storm was coming toward us, we did manage to get back to the house before we got wet!

I labeled this photo, "That damn dog." I'm sure that is what this spruce grouse was saying cause Jazz chased her up in this tree.
We will have lots of bears this fall--look at all those blossoms on the chokecherry bushes.
