The Storm

It was a dark and stormy....

It's 4:15 and the house is dark....

I run to the deck to get a shot of the trees swirling. . . in the dark???

But, you see, it's afternoon and the house is as dark as if it's evening. The trees swirl clockwise and counter clockwise. The rain is coming in sheets.

I brave the elements trying to get a perfect shot, until I hear a cracking sound and I high-tail it back inside and go to the front of the house.

The sheets of rain are a beautiful reminder of the glory of a summer storm. It was quite a storm. It lasted for about an hour and I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see something on the news about it.

We might see something like this...

That's actually a fairly small branch, about four feet long and gratefully that's all the damage I see. Lots of leaves and light debris littering our street, but nothing more.


On a lighter note, I got the coolest mail this week. During the Mad Tea Party, I won a drawing from our friend Suze, at Pink Crayon Studio. Suze is known, of course, for her dolls and cool art, but also for her mail art. I am so happy to have been the recipient of not only these Mail Art Tags, but this awesome envelope. Check it out.


Thanks again Suze for such a fun giveaway. You are the best.

Well, that all for now, kids. I'll be back soon with more photos and lots of other fun stuff. I might even post my newest picture of my hubby, if he'll let me. Take care and do lots of art!!
