The weather this week is fantastic! A few passing showers here and there, but nothing close to the washout that the forecast called. Last night, heavy rains moved through the region and stirred up the lake.

We kept the windows open while all the weather and wind moved around us. I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of heavy rains falling on the house, roof, and deck. This morning, I awoke to the rough waves and melodic sound of them crashing on the shore.

I was going to get out of bed early to drink coffee and read the paper before the children woke up. Instead, with the incredible view out the window along with the soothing sounds, I just laid there and enjoyed it.
