No rain was predicted on Friday night/Saturday morning. So I was surprised to be awakened early to the rumble of thunder. The lake really needed this and more.

Much rain is predicted this week. I hope we actually get some. Summer seems to be stalled getting here. The nights are touching the high 30's°F and Sunday's high was only in the 50's°F. We did see what we assumed to be an escaped mental patient skiing the east shore during the weekend. The fish should soon migrate back to the lake from where ever they have gone to.
