    The sound of thunder — with occasional streaks of lightning — accompanied us from our turn around point on the Taylor Highway, through the Jack Wade Junction and Chicken, and all the way back to the campground.

    Luckily, though, the rain held off until we were just a few miles from the campground. And then it poured and poured. But the rain didn’t last long. With the soil draining well, there were only a couple of small pools of water on our patio. And once the sun came out from behind the clouds, it was just too nice outside to stay indoors.

    So, we bundled up and went to sit on the patio for a couple of hours ... a crackling campfire making a nice addition to our evening ... especially since the light breeze was blowing the smoke away from us.

    It’s now 10:00p and it is raining again. I love the sound of the pitter-patter on the roof ... a nice sound to which I like to fall asleep. Methinks it is bedtime!    Read more
