Saturday August 10th 2024

Today was one of those days that it could rain at any moment. It was mostly cloudy for the hour or two after sunrise. As the morning progressed the sky started giving off ominous sounds. The sky on the horizons were often dark. The sound of few brief showers on the roof happened intermittently as the dark clouds moved too close. As evening approached, a real long term thunderstorm finally made an appearance overhead. It lasted the better part of a half hour. The humidity and temperature remained high all day.

The landscapers were here early this morning to do battle with the long grass. When they didn’t come yesterday, I assumed we were going to have to wait until next week and it was looking a little shaggy. I heard the sound of mowers before 8AM this morning. They were gone by noon. I’m happy despite getting woken earlier than I wanted. They even managed to use the trimmer on the tall grass near my front door that they had been missing for the last several weeks.

Today also seemed to be a departure day around the RV resort. This park seems to have a lot of Saturday to Saturday stays. Two of the departures were across the street from me. My view of the sunset has improved a little. I also noted a few other departures when I took my abbreviated walk around the RV resort. The approach of more black clouds drove me back to my RV home via the shortest possible path. I made it inside by about 3 minutes before another brief shower passed overhead.
