Late Night Regrets...

It started raining overnight, with thunder around 4:00 AM. Rained hard, off and on all morning. When I got home, I checked the rain gauge and we picked up another 3/4 of an inch of rain! We are still below average for rainfall this summer, but we seem to be catching up.

I picked up a tieback with tassels from Penney's at lunch; so tonight's only project is to replace the cheesy thin rope and white plastic ball on the attic steps (you use it to pull down the door). I wanted it to look more like an old bell pull or something. I cut off one end and Jake put it on. He pointed out it looked unfinished somehow, just going up into the wood door like it does (I took a picture and will post when site's back up). It needs some kind of brass plate or cover. I'll have to think what might work...

For dinner I made enchiladas and refried beans. I put out a variety of toppings: hot salsa, jalapeno pepper slices, cut up scallions and sour cream. Very tasty, if I do say so myself. But, during the night, both Scruffy and I came to regret me having the second helping of refried beans...
