Summer has been a bit busy. My work schedule has been all over the calendar, some evenings, some mornings, some irregular weekdays. Very few extra hours, but steady work. Now that fall is upon us I should be moving back to my normal shift. The regular hours should be nice again.

A very nice, but short rain came through here yesterday morning. Lots of booming too. It was not enough to turn the summer burnt grass green, but I did not have to do any watering for the first time in weeks.

We have been having some real nice warm weather lately. Highs in the 100s, though I suspect those nice temps will be going away in the next week or so.

Lately a road runner has been coming to visit. I think it is visiting for the water in the bird bath (changed daily) when it gets hot. They are rather big birds. Should I ever manage to get a photo, I will post it here.

We will be making a trip to KC come the end of Sept. C's daughter will be flying in for a week, so it is a great chance to visit. The following week we will likely be dropping in to see her parents as well.

Other than that it has been quiet here.
