I was going to water my herbs this morning

I was going to get up and water early, but the joke is on me. It is very gently raining, or at least it was when I opened the door to let the cats out. Although there were no fire works yesterday that I know of, the air smelled acrid with the gunpowder smoke smell last night, so I am glad of the rain washing the air. I may just be playing it by ear today. Of course I will be back later to visit more.

We had rain over night last night, but I believe that there is still a chance of more during the day today. I took piano lessons when I was a little girl, I never really liked the basics, but loved to play Christmas carols.

I took a semester of piano in college. My sister had lots of piano and vocal lessons growing up, but she often played by ear.

No problem, I just did not need to do it since the rain did it.

So far we have not had any unbearable days in July, but I am sure there will be some.

We had fog early morning on the 5th or it would have still smelled like fireworks that morning here. We just finished watering the plants. I hope you have a good day.

I don't think it rained overnight, I certainly didn't hear any and things looked dry this morning.

The plants will benefit from the rain I'm sure. Mother Nature does a better job of watering plants when she gets round to it.

Unfortunately my grass will also grow. I will take a nice rain anytime, though.

We'll be getting rain overnight and tomorrow from the remnants of tropical storm Elsa. I hope the rain cleared the air for you.
