Rainy Day, Rockin' Night

I am enjoying the cool summer rains we have had the past few days. My garden is finally growing with the help of mother nature, and I am watching the progress of some zucchinis and pumpkin plants. This wonderful rain is also helping with the farm where I receive most of my family's veggie needs as well. What a blessing.

Yesterday began the Kitsap County Fair, and I had a lovely evening enjoying the food, art, and children's displays. Contemplating the wonderful food was great, too. I ended up sharing a roasted ear of corn with my hubby. I even enjoyed more rain last night, when I attended the the Three Dog Night concert. It was so fun! My husband Allan and son Silas went. I haven't had so much fun in my town in a long time. There was one man who danced the night away as the band commented on how we must enjoy the weather here, because we live here. Though we were good and soggy by the time we got to our car, the time at the fair was well worth it.

The cooler weather continues today, robbing some of us of our motivation to do anything, including chores and eating right. But the blessed relief of clouds and rain are my favorite part of living in the Northwest, and the unique (at least to me) opportunities we have on the Kitsap Peninsula because of that have made the summer beautiful and enjoyable.
