Some Excitement

I've been going stir-crazy here lately.  So when my daughter suggested going over to the river for a dip, I decided to just go for it.

I hadn't been anywhere but the store in a long time - too long.

And it has been hot lately!

The original plan had called for grilling some Hot Dogs over there.  But the logistics were getting complicated, so we decided on going for a swim, and then doing the grill-thing back at the house.

With the heat, I had expected there to be a crowd over there.  That's normal for this time of year.  But there were surprisingly few folks out.

Perhaps they didn't want to be out in the heat.  Or maybe more people are deciding to actually stay at home like the governor suggested.

But since it was outdoors, and there seemed to be plenty of opportunity for social-distance, I figured it was worth a shot.

Turned out that it was easy to find a place we had to ourselves.

The river was pretty high.  There have been some pretty good rains in the area lately.  Of course with the rain, come mores humidity - another good reason for a dip.

The river felt wonderful for sure.

Got home and got the dogs grilled before the storm hit.

Sheesh.

Got 3in of rain, and knocked out the power for awhile.

But since we already had our grub, we were able to sit on the porch and watch the deluge.

The wind was pretty rough too.  I was kinda worried about the trees.

But no damage here.

Duke Power said there was a tree down on the powerline.

But the lights came back eventually.

Kind of an exciting day, really.

And a nice change.

Hang in there
