Good 62º cloudy morning.
92º at 2pm
Rain started just a few minutes after 4pm yesterday and after 19 minutes we
got 1/4". After 40 minutes we had 1/2". It came down in buckets! I texted Brian
we were getting the rain. He had heard the thunder. Walked outside his office
and saw lighten strike across on the mountain and start a fire!
Wind blowing rain all over the north side of the house!
I'm sorry, as I know these photos will make you in "no rain forever zones"
pea green!
Yesterday Ted got here at 5:30am to spray the pastures. He did all that and
then the areas down in front of the house towards the gate.Then he sprayed the
berry bushes. He was here until 10:30.
When the rain started I called Ted and told him and worried that it would
affect the spraying he did earlier. He said since it had 6 hours to dry in the
heat it would be fine. Good thing! That was expen$ive!
Then... I mowed the front lawn. UGH.

July 10th
National Piña Colada Day
According to the book “La Gran Cocina Del Caribe” by José L.
Díaz de Villega, the Piña Colada made its debut on August 16, 1954 at the Caribe
Hilton’s Beachcomber Bar in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a watering hole for a
star-studded clientele. The hotel management had requested that bartender Ramón
“Monchito” Marrero create a new signature cocktail. Marrero worked for three
months on the recipe.
Piña is Spanish for pineapple, and colada means strained;
the drink is usually served blended with ice. The Piña Colada has been the
official beverage of Puerto Rico since 1978.
ORIGINAL PIÑA COLADA RECIPE
Ingredients
Preparation
1. COMBINE the rum, coconut cream, heavy cream and pineapple juice in a
blender. Add the ice and blend for about 15 seconds or until smooth.
2. POUR into a 12-ounce glass. Garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge and a
maraschino cherry.
*The difference between a good and great Pina Colada is the difference
between canned and fresh pineapple
juice
