Watermelom Day

Acording to my nifty calendar today is Watermelon Day. Evidently Mother Nature didn't read the memo carefully. i haven't seen any watermelons today but we certainly have had lots of water.  It's probably my fault because I bought a new raincoat this morning.  This afternoon I was sitting on my balcony watching the rain blow sideways and the lightning flash when it occured to me that sitting in a metal chair on a metal railed balcony might not be the brightest idea.  So I came inside and enjoyed the scene from a safe distance.  I guess I should be glad it wasn't raining watermelons.
