There were no clouds in the sky when I got up this morning but it was raining hard by late morning.  We had to fold up the ping pong table on the deck because it was getting soaked.  I had to close the dining room windows and the skylight was also dripping.  It was a downpour and 58 degrees!

It was six weeks ago today that James had his accident.  This picture was taken before it happened.

 

Now this is what he does for fun.  It actually is good therapy for his leg when the jets are on.

At about 3pm it stopped raining but the sky is still overcast.  They are doing a prescribed burn.  Grr...why?

I sorted through all the mail we got in Chandler and tried to pay a few bills today.

James wanted to go on a Razr ride.  The roads are so muddy from the rain that the mud from the tires flips back at us like it's being fired from a machine gun.  We go very slow.  The water isn't running in the creek bed on Forest road 61 so we don't go down to Buckelew Springs.  We go down to James's favorite spot to look for elk.  It's the meadow this side of the Carlock Ranch.  We see a huge herd of elk, approximately 80!

James helped me cook dinner and clean the kitchen.  We had some fried zucchini from the Crane's garden for dinner.  After dinner we watched the Walton's.  Livy has TB and has to go to a sanitorium.  Sad.

I took this picture that Jared posted on Facebook today.  I guess Emmy went to work with him.
School hasn't started yet in El Paso.
