Four of my guests are check-out and on to new adventures today. The other two are participating in the DK200 and won’t be back until much later tonight. I have the beds stripped and laundry running. Two more guests check-in tomorrow afternoon.
Got lucky again and had very nice guests. Kathy and I sat outside and watched the stars come out with two of them. The other four went to bed early as they had to leave the house before 5:00.
We had quite a storm blow through a little after 4:00 this morning. It woke me up. We had strong wind, hard rain and hail again. I checked radar in case I needed to get my guests to the safe room. There was a huge system northeast of me but we just caught a little tail end of it. Didn’t end up with much rain. The start of the DK was delayed a bit to let the storm pass through. It is nice and cool out this morning but I bet it heats up later. Trusting those out on the road already doing the 350 were able to find some shelter during the peak of the storm.
Two of my guests were riding the DK50 and one was doing the 200. I will have to check the leaderboard and see if I can find their names. The other two guests were a delightful mother and daughter spending time together.
I have some errands to do so may run into Emporia today. I have been up since 4:00 when the storm woke me up so may need to take a nap. Want to go to the Rodeo Parade this afternoon at 2:00. The errands may have to wait until Monday if I decide to take a nap.
Need to give my girls some fresh linens. This might be a good morning to do that as it is so cool right now. When I went down to gather eggs last night I found a dead chicken in the pen. I had noticed when I got home from Italy one was acting weird. Never know for sure what causes them to die. Hate when it happens. Trusting it is an isolated incident and others won’t follow suit.
Grateful for the guests I had last night, grateful for a cool start to the day, and grateful for the little bit of rain we received – every drop helps break the drought.
