…up a little after five to load the pickup. Rousted the boys for an early morning fishing expedition to Lake Manitou. Spent a couple of luckless hours on the water there, then headed down to Green Mountain Falls where we knocked em dead. I caught and released while the boys harvested four nice rainbow for a supper later this week.
Best part of the day, though, was this evening when the monsoons finally blew in. Got a good rain that promises to keep on until morning. Lots of flooding in other places, in part because of the burn scars, but we’ll take whatever we can get. Especially if it keeps other fires from starting. Kind of a sad summer all around, across the country, but maybe not unexpected. We’re just too cavalier sometimes with what we have, and too lazy or benighted at other times to protect it.
