But first, the weather. Ah, the weather. When our kids were little, Veggie Tales was a fixture in our home. The older ones can still quote huge sections of dialogue. I can even quote some lines, including part of a song meant to teach homophones (words that have the same sound but different origins, meaning or spelling). In that instance, the hook of the chorus was, “weather, whether, weather, whether, whether weather or not…”. We had a perfectly good plan to meet outdoors and in person this Sunday; the lawn is mowed, the details were coming together nicely, my Talky Bit took our setting into account…and the forecast is for a fair bit of rain heading into the weekend, including on Sunday. Best case scenario would be that it clears up by Sunday and the yard is too squishy to sit on. So we’re going with our rain date of August 29th.
