I woke up early this morning to the sound of rain.  Not just any old rain — it was pouring buckets out there.  I lay in bed waiting for the alarm clock to sound, and just as I thought I had heard the heaviest rain I’d EVER heard — it poured HEAVIER!  Wow. Read the rest of this entry →

Today was a rest day, and good thing too — because with all the tree pollen in the air — I can barely breathe! Read the rest of this entry →
