Summer has returned this week after a complete week of rain. I think Jose had a hangover from too much tequila and he hung around a few days longer than expected.

As I sit here writing this column, I am listening to the news and trying to keep track of Jose. So by the time you read this I hope all is well and we didn’t get blown away and we are still above water.

Well once again I cannot complain about our weather when there is complete devastation to our south.

After watching what is happening in Texas, we can be thankful that all we got from Hurricane Harvey was a rainy and windy Sunday. So now as I write this all eyes are on Irma. But until we learn what is happening with her we can enjoy the sun and fall like weather we are having.

Can I just say I love this weather? It is warm enough for flip flops and a tank top, but cool enough to be outside.

It rained real hard and we had thunder and lightning and wind, but it did not stop the week’s activities. Yes it slowed down some things and the fireworks were put off until Sunday night but things still continued.

I felt sorry for any bride getting married this past Saturday with the rain, but they always say that if it rains on a bride it is good luck.

I am sitting here waiting for the rain to begin. We have had close calls of rain but it always seems to go over us or under us. I know I keep hoping but the ground is very dry and our plants need rain. On the other hand the temperatures are so nice. Not to hot and not a lot of humidity. This is the weather we can all enjoy.

We have had rain, humidity, sun, wind, the whole summer weather. This week it is going to be sun and heat.

I know that our summer visitors are probably not happy with the rain at the beginning of the week, but we are in great need of it.
