Lunch with the Old School Gal Pals. I took my camera with me, thinking that I could get some nice pictures of fall color along the way.
The minute I drove out of the park, it started raining!!
When I got to the restaurant, 37.1 miles, it was still raining.
When I left the restaurant, 2 hours later, it was still raining.
When I got to the farm, it was still raining and....................when I left the farm 90 mins. later, it was still raining.
When I stopped at Walmart, it was still raining and..........
When I had to stop at the Middletown Market to get the milk, I had forgotten to get at Walmart, it was still raining.
...and when I pulled into my driveway, 1.5 miles from the market,
it had stopped raining.
82.7 round trip.
You dashboard zoo seem happy to have gotten a nice ride, rain and all. Even with the rain your colors were bright in your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteMy Freddie puppy, my gray coon and my Holstein cow love going on a ride
DeleteTaking pictures when you're driving in the rain? Oh, come on! Crazy person, but I love's ya. :)

Is that not always the way it is? You're at home for the day and the sun shines brightly. You have to spend the day on the road and it's rain all the way. You think, it sure will be fun to get home and snuggle down and hear the rain on the roof. By the time you get home? Sun's out! You're having nice fall weather there, though. The color is nice. We are barely getting underway and it's too dry. I love me a rainy cool fall day when I can stay indoors and cook and hibernate. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat IS a lot of driving to have lunch! I haven't driven in the rain for over a year ... that will be changing soon! Probably I will not be driving at night and in the rain.
ReplyDeleteMaui spotted it's first whale of the season! Right on schedule.
dreary, dreary, dreary. Nice to cuddle up with the kitties and forget about rain. Hey! Did you enjoy lunch with your Gal Pals?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had to ride out in the rain. Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeleteMan it looks wet there!It rained here this afternoon,too, and it was welcome...I wasn't planning to go out today, and it helped me get some things (almost nil, but still!) -- 3 loads of laundry, throwing out old papers as I did them, and cooking fresh sausage an sweet potatoes with honey, cinnamon and a little butter, and some sweet peas. Simple, but hey--I was grateful to be above ground and able to take some baby steps until I'm fully done with PT! Maybe, if nothing else happens---I will be! Have a nice weekend!
