Some rain!

77º with overcast skies at 6:30 pm Tuesday.  Had 2.75" rain overnight and into the morning.  Bright sunshine came out at noon. 

We had been really browning up with the high temperatures and no rain.

Well it is now 65º at 9:05 on Wednesday morning.  Got interrupted and didn't get back to this until now.

.This was just taken

of the front lawn.

A little color to it.

These three photos all taken

after the rain quit yesterday

and the sun came out.

Have been reading Jonathan Winter's Tales, a collection of one or two-page stories.  Got me interested in what else he had done.  Found many books, DVDs and CD/records he had made earlier.  Quite an interesting person.  Like another comedian, Red Skelton, he also painted and has quite a collection.  You can find numerous YouTube of his visits to The Johnny Carson Show.  He worked with a lot of other actors--passed away in 2013 at age of 87.

He had served in the Marines during WWII.  

CLICK HERE  for his life story on Wikipedia.

 A man was on trial for murder and if convicted, would get life imprisonment. His brother found out that an Irishman was on the jury and figured he would be the one to bribe. He told the Irishman that he would be paid £10,000 if he could convince the rest of the jury to reduce the charge to manslaughter.  The jury was out an entire week and returned with a verdict of manslaughter.  After the trial, the brother went to the Irish man's house, told him what a great job he had done, and paid him the £10,000.  The Irishman replied, "It wasn't easy to convince the rest of the jury to change the charge to manslaughter. They all wanted to let him off."
