Why didn't anybody tell me? I hadn't looked at the
TOP OF MY HEAD!!!

Need hair color much, Phinney??
How embarrassing!

A Yankee Cow!!

Liz (Aunt Nub) picked me up ~ she from New York
and me from Connecticut.
We went to
Yankee Candle Factory Village in
South Deerfield, Massachusetts.


I love this cow :)

summer rain

thunder & lightning & a quick, torrential downpour yesterday

a crack so loud i jumped in my chair

then another
each time sounded like electricity hit
nearby

i looked out the back door
almost expecting to see a tree or something tall
broken, or smoking
(or on fire? does a lightning strike set something on fire?)

all 3 of my cats
inside the house
2 accounted for, but one found such a secure hiding place
i couldn't find her for almost half an hour

anyway
it scared me
but you know how scary things can be exciting?
get your adrenaline pumping
like riding a roller coaster that speeds straight downhill, or the loud booms
of the exploding fireworks at the end of the show

i felt revved up
alive
i watched the rain make a three foot wide
rushing river by the curbside in the street & marveled at the water
pouring down over my wind chimes

then the sun came out & it was over
raindrops sprinkled for a few more minutes
sticky humidity hung in the air
ten minutes later it pretty much looked like it hadn't rained at all

this summer has been the rainiest in memory
in all my forty-seven years
and i'm loving it

Thanks to Lisa for the link. I think I'm on my way back...
