Rainy Days Don't Get ME Down!

Yee-Haw!!!! We've got another six tenths in the rain gauge! It may be too late for the corn, but will surely help the beans! Kathy and Tawni have gone to Hobby Lobby in Quincy, so Zach and Wyatt are here. We've been having a great day. At this moment, Wyatt is sleeping soundly, and Zach is out riding his motorcycle. He's no doubt looking for any water he can find to ride through. Yesterday, I rode with him around the fields. He's a pretty good rider, but considerably over confident. He did crash though, so it slowed him down just a bit for a little while at least. Fortunately he wasn't hurt bad. Just a few bruises and some impressive scratches on his helmet. He hit the rocks, and I showed him the helmet and asked what it might have done had he not been wearing protection. Dennis rode with him later in the evening and took him out in the pasture where he could go up and down some hills. It's a sure thing that the crash he had early yesterday morning won't be the last, but rather just the first of many. I just hope none of them hurt him too bad! When I rode with him, he wanted to race, but I told him I would not race with him. That's all we need to do is make it a competition...he'll get hurt for sure, because he can't stand getting passed!
The races that had been scheduled for tonight at Donnellson have been postponed until August 30 due to the rain. That means we have a free evening! I wonder what we'll do? I wonder how many boys we'll have staying the night? LOL! We have a movie that we haven't watched yet, so perhaps this evening we'll do that and have some good ice cream! Maybe I better run to town to get the ice cream this afternoon. I'm still longing for some Pistachio Almond ice cream!
I am going to take advantage of the little time left of Wyatt's nap to make a page in my scrap book. If he sleeps longer, maybe I'll get two finished!
Enjoy this cool and rainy day. When the sun breaks through, we'll get hot again and more humid than ever!
