The rain gauge showed half an inch Saturday evening after that storm.. That felt good and I was figuring that should keep until Tuesday or maybe Wednesday.. Then Sunday morning it rained some more.. After all was said and done Saturday and Sunday rainfall amounts totaled 1.7 inches in the rain gauge.. I wrote on someone's FB site that I thought the rain gauge was broken or cursed or caused the sky to think we were begging for rain and I was going to get a new one.. After this weekend I'll keep the old one.. That felt good.. Listened to the rain yesterday morning and it was just so cool to hear it out there.. Then later in the day mom asks if I could turn on the heat.. I really hate turning the heat on after it has hit 90 degrees and the windows are open, well some of the windows are open..
As we get closer to Memorial Day I was thinking of that year when we went down to grandmas house and I needed a tent because she liked her house warm, and I couldn't sleep in there the year before.. I slept out in the tent and it rained.. Not very hard but it did rain and this was the first time I ever had a tent with a rain fly.. The tent I used to set up when I was younger was the tent my dad bought for taking us camping in.. We went camping like three times I think including the time we were at my aunts house and we slept out in their front yard, my older brother me and our two cousins, Coleen and Bobby Jean.. Back when it was just fun.. I remember having the tent set up in our back yard and when it got hot that is where I slept during the summer sometimes.. I threatened to do that one time recently when the power was out and it was just hot as it can be in July or early August.. I didn't but I sure thought about it.. I have this "romance" or "fantasy" about tents and camping or camper type of things..
This past winter I caught myself looking at campers on YouTube, the teardrop type where it is just the sleeping area inside and the cooking area outside, a hatch opening to reveal this part.. Then looking at those R-pods that me and mom looked at a few days before she went in and had her SOS surgery done.. Dad would look at campers and day dream, pretty much I think this is where I got it from.. The idea of camping or setting up the tent instead of staying at a hotel, there's a certain amount of romance to that.. I catch myself looking at tents in Walmart, looking online at Amazon.. Day dreaming about camping..
