September 21, 2014. Western Head. The Weather.

Since 4:00 this afternoon it has been raining. Sometimes the rain falls hard and some times it is just drizzling. It is supposed to rain all night with increased strength and high winds. It is kind of nice to hear the fierce wind and the heavy rain beating on the windows, especially when we are tucked safely in our cosy home by the shore. This morning after our Sunday Brunch, we four drove to the cottage. Ken and I wanted to be sure our new WiFi device would work. Also Rita and Ian had not been to the cottage this trip. Our plan was to sit by the water and read, eat a late lunch on the deck, then come home before dark. Fortunately, Ken checked the weather while we were still sitting on the deck eating lunch. He found that heavy rains were coming to our area beginning at 4:00, so we quickly washed up our dishes and packed the truck and headed for home. We were about 5 minutes away from home when the rain started, right on time at 4:00. It has been raining ever since. The garden needed rain so everyone is pleased, but we were especially happy to watch the heavy rain from the comfort of our home. We would not have enjoyed driving from the cottage in heavy rain. Weather forecasts are definitely a blessing.
