A big thunderstorm blew in last evening, flickering the power on and off a couple of times and bringing much needed rain. I had just watered all the rose beds, which no doubt caused the deluge. This weather system brought welcome respite from the heat today. Deborah and I took a nice walk down by the lake. We also had a pleasant visit from Merrilyn's sister Bev who owns another inn in town.
