Leek soup is actually quite wonderful, Severn.

When we moved into our home five years ago, we discovered that we had a leak between the kitchen and the Great Room (kinda like a combination dining room, sun room, family room.) It was very unpredictable. We had a new roof put on the house, which we knew it needed when we bought it, but the leak got worse. After endless attempts at trying to see where the roof was leaking, we finally discovered that it was the chimney. Once we fixed that, everything was fine. But until then, it was a real stressful occasion everytime it rained.. especially when we were away.

The rain here today was o.k. by me, for the most part. It came with a nice cool breeze. Last summer, we built a large, screened-in gazebo, and we sure enjoyed it today. Now, most of the family has left, and Ruth and I are looking forward to wrapping it up. ( I think I hear signs of people packing up...)
