“And just like that, it stopped raining.” Never thought we would see sunshine today but the miracle happened. Our high temperature hit a pleasant 72F. Winds finally died down to 13mph out of the East currently. Unfortunately we have a steady rain moving in overnight with thunderstorms lingering for Friday morning.

We were told there were some puppy Drum caught later in the afternoon today, so that’s good news.
