Oh, the Rain!

I was able to get a load of laundry washed and hung out on my neighbor's clothes line. As I was hanging it, I was watching some dark clouds roll in. Being a little nervous, I ran in and checked the weather on the internet. It told me that there shouldn't be rain until about 5 p.m., and then only a 5% chance. Silly me for actually believing the weather report, but I packed up the children and started my errands.

Our first stop was lunch at the middle school. While we were there, it got more humid, and the sky turned black. Then it happened. The rain came down in sheets. It poured for about ten minutes. I am not sure how much rain was dumped, but there was standing water on the roads, and the ditches held big puddles, too.

So the fate of my laundry was to get another rinse, and it stayed out on the line a little longer. It did, however get dry before dinner - everything but the socks.
