Just a quick entry, I woke in the middle of the night last night to a strange sound I haven't heard in months- rain! Pittypatting on the dry, hard ground, pinging in the downspout, patting on the shingles. Lovely sound! Now I probably won't wax poetic about it come February, but it's sure nice now!
Been setting up a little enameling kiln from a garage sale out in my cabin. Still need to pick up a few things to make it work, but since I'm using an inverted flowerpot for a lid and an unglazed plant saucer to protect the heating element, I figure it's fair game to write about on a gardening blog.
Spent the afternoon with my aunt today so my uncle could go to a class reunion. My aunt would have loved to go once apon a time, she's a real people person and as nice as they come. But this doggone disease has progressed to where she can't talk coherently much at all. Came home and cried my eyes out.

Sorry about your Auntie. I know that must be rough on the family.
We did not even get enough wet stuff to knock down the dust here. Up north the had a bit more I understand.
I want a good T-storm!

Oooh, you hit on my favorite thing in the world, a good thunder & lightning storm. It's beautiful here on the prairie to watch lightning striking on the Capitol Forset hills!
