Stormy weather?

 

Nothing on the radar yet, but the local weather folk are all excited about a strong band of thunderstorms coming up from the south tonight. A unusual weather pattern for Seattle. Maybe a fast inch of rain, which would be welcome, except the ground is so compacted and dry it will mostly run off. Our basement stairwell sometimes fills with water if it rains too hard, too fast. Something to keep an eye on tonight, although not like there's much we can do but bail out with a bucket.

It's been a busy few days. Yesterday morning we went appliance shopping and picked out a new LG duel fuel range. That means electric oven and gas burners. It also has an air fryer feature. I use a propane LG in Twisp, not as fancy as this new one, but I like the brand. We also ordered a new stainless steel hood to replace the wimpy one installed in the 1990's, now crusted with old grease. That should be a nice upgrade for the kitchen, although will likely make everything else look shabby by comparison.

We canned a batch of corn salsa this morning, which of course trashed the top of the stove. There's no way I'm going to kill myself getting that cleaned up. They can  just think we are slobs when they haul it off in two weeks.

Have a good weekend!
