This Summer, Day 43

Paddy came over to play in the backyard and...he brought water balloons!  Hooray!  We had snow cones.


Daisy says that Paddy is her best friend, and he is a very kind and fun friend.

I drove Leah and three of her friends to Kennywood to ride with their night passes, and after the little girls and I took supper to grill at the pool as we waited there for Russ.  The sky darkened very, very gradually.  Only one grayish cloud loomed above, and it was off to the side.  It's funny how one smallish gray cloud could encompass the whole sky when it was above us!  Rumbles began, and the kids had to get out of the pool.  Still, though, I knew it would blow over and our grilling plans would remain intact.  I heated the grill.  The rain held off.  I put our sausages and chicken on.  It began to sprinkle.  Our food was 75% cooked.  The sky opened and lightning flashed down.  We grabbed the food and all of our things and met Russ at home for an inside picnic.
