Today has been beautiful but we could see some heavy weather later today.  Thunderstorms are in the forecast and some reaching severe are not out of the question.   We’ve been very lucky so far this year, and prayers go out for the folks battling those horrific floods in the states to our south.  I wish that these heavy rains would go to where the wildfires are.
