It has been quite awhile since we have had any measurable rain. Even though we had been keeping up on watering the flowers, we had noticed that the planters out front were looking pretty sad. Thus, Doug and I spent some time on Monday dumping some of the potted plants and moving others to the backyard to live out the rest of the season. Fortunately, our yard stayed green during the recent drought thanks to all of the shade that our trees provided this August and September.
We did finally receive some much needed rain this evening which we appreciated for the grass seed that Doug planted in the backyard yesterday. Unfortunately, it came at the wrong time as the storm blew in while the Bethany Bruins were taking on the Westview Warrior on the tennis court. Postponing the match to tomorrow night wasn't that big of a deal, but dealing with the extreme wind before the storm hit was. Everyone struggled to keep the ball on the court and being in the middle, Cameron had the most "let" points of his tennis career due to errant shots. Cameron also struggled to keep his serve in play with the wind gusts. He wasn't happy about the conditions or the postponed match, but realized that he couldn't do much about it. His court ended with a 0-6, 1-6 loss, but he planned to be there tomorrow to cheer on the rest of his teammates. Hopefully, the rain and wind will take a break until the postponed match is completed.
