10:53 a.m. - Okay...so the first JayFlight adventure of the 2021 season wasn't picture perfect with weather. ON THE OTHER HAND, it was perfect enough for a quick weekend get-a-way with Loud Thunder Forest Preserve close by. I shook the cobwebs of memories off my brain and got back into camping mode. We went out Friday night, and I got back about an hour ago. Friday night's weather was good for a campfire, but we just grabbed a Casey's pizza for supper. Saturday morning Amber and I went for a hike on the South SacFox trail, and this was Amber's first time on the trail, so that was fun for her...we were out for about an hour. Then after our hike, Amber went to help out Kenzie, and I went back home to mow the yard before the "big rain" hit. I had actually thought about bringing the camper back Saturday afternoon because each forecast seemed to bring the rain in earlier than the previous forecast, and I didn't really want to sit in the rain from early afternoon through this morning. I figured, though, that we had been in rain before, and we would just take our chances. So I quickly worked on getting the yard mowed, which was actually faster without the trailer parked next to the house. Then I went back to Loud Thunder and had some quiet time reading my book. The weather was funky...it was warm enough to sit outside in a jacket and read my book for awhile, and then it got cold. The wind would be breezy, and then it would calm. There were a few sprinkles here and there, but for the most part the weather stayed cloudy, cool, but dry. We were planning supper around five and the rain was staying to the south, so we went ahead and had a fire, and I cooked the hamburgers over the wood fire. I would say the "rain" really didn't start until maybe around 7 p.m., which was time enough to have a little camp picnic with Jack, Rhonda, Karrigan, and Sophie, who came to visit. We ate outside under the awning in jackets and the sprinkles were hit and miss. At times the sprinkles would stop, and we would sit by the fire. Eventually the rain appeared to be permanent, so our guests left, I put up the awning, and the rest of the night was indoors and rainy. And at times it was real rainy. At one point a big thunder hit, and it startled me out of my sleep. I really didn't sleep well the rest of the night because it was pouring down rain. Once again, though, Mother Nature helped out by turning off the rain faucets around 9 a.m.. The pavement was wet and the grass was wet, and it was cold and cloudy still, but it didn't take much time at all to pack up and exit the campground. We still now have time to celebrate Mother's Day by visiting my mom at Mary's, and I think we will head to the Casino tonight to cap off the day. That primarily means losing money, but I'll try to keep the losing limited. I do still need to park the trailer by the house, but I'm hoping to let the sun come out and perhaps dry the ground a little bit so it's not so soft when I'm backing it in.
