Rainy Day!

It rained most of the day.

Sometimes a drizzle, sometimes more.

We needed it badly!

But after weeks of mostly sun, it was a bit of a shock and we all kind of avoided being outside.

Bear does not like wet feet. Snow feet are not so bad, but feet wet from rain…when we did walk, he stopped often to clean his feet. I suggested waiting until the walk was done and doing a cleanup when we got inside. My advice was ignored.

And still, much cleanup to do once inside.

Auggie was stoic…mostly.

And finally, all gave in…

…to the rainy day!

This ‘n that

Sometime over the weekend, I noticed a new status icon on my Windows 8.1 Task bar…

A mouse hover displayed the icon hint: “Get Windows 10” !

A Click on the icon brings up the Windows 10 reservation dialog. If you haven’t reserved, there will be a reserve button in the vicinity of the red circle above. I reserved before taking a screen capture.

The buzz is that Windows 10 will start rolling out on July 29 to those who have reserved.

Color me excited!

Meanwhile, after a warm and VERY, VERY dry April and May – scary dry…we started getting rain. A couple of days about 6 drops. Then some pour little cloud released a downpour that lasted maybe 3 minutes. It was like teaser rain.

But yesterday, with flood watch warnings and a forecast of possibly severe thunderstorms with wind and hail…a gentle, steady rain began. It went through the night and continues this morning. It is the perfect kind of rain to have after such a dry spell as it is soaking in and not running off.

Not everyone in my house is as happy as me about the rain…
