Early Rain

Unlike every other day we had rain, yesterday it arrived early. It was even a morning when we had to have the fireplace on, if you can believe that for mid July. It has been said that you can see snow any day of the year in this part of the country. While checking out the weather data from the same period last year, we didn't have as much rain or temperatures this low. Of course, it can, and probably will turn around and get very warm again.

While tracking the number of guests at the lodge, we are slightly behind from last year in the month of July, but our June was excellent, and we expect to catch up in the July numbers. We still come very close to selling out all rooms each night, and you can't do better than that.

We want to take another bike ride this morning while the sun is shining, so we're deciding which trail to take this time. There is the continuation of the trail we took last week in town that goes by Smith's grocery and travels past the town of Wilson, so that is the best candidate right now. That trail will take us through some nice countryside, but we aren't sure if we can do it in the time we have before we need to get ready for work. At any rate, we will be going out to ride again, so we'll have some breakfast and be on our way...
