Terry and I awoke during the night to the sound of heavy rains as yet more remnants of Fay passed through the area. It had drizzled off and on most of yesterday and continued into the evening. After we got out of bed to the tune of Chester's plaintive pleas, we checked the weather and the bulk of the rain had excited to the east. This was good news as Terry was to be on the road to Cincinnati this morning. She's heading to Louisville for an Embroiderer's Guild of America convention that starts on Sunday.
Unfortunately for me, I stayed behind to mind the cats and see if I can get any work done on building another raised bed for next summer's planned gardens.
Terry wasn't gone more than an hour when the drizzle and mist returned accompanied by some stiff, cold (not chilly--cold!) winds. The hillsides are shrouded in clouds and the drizzle won't let up. Them temperature has not risen above 62 degrees and I half hope the cloud cover holds or we might have an overnight low in the very low 40s. It's supposed to warm up during the week, but then again, it was supposed to stop raining and be in the low 70s today.
So Terry's on her way to Louisville with a stop outside Cincinnati tonight. From there she'll be heading to NJ to pick up her Mom to go to a military reunion in Gettysburg. (Dad belonged to this group and even after his passing Mom has continued to attend their annual gatherings. This, however, may be their last as so many of the Polar Bears have passed away or are too infirm to attend.) Most of the fellows still around are in their mid to late 80s.
Just me and the three cats for two weeks.
