Wednesday, June 21, 2006New Blog LookIn honor of the start of Summer, I've changed the look of this blog. Okay, maybe it was just an excuse to get me motivated to make a change. I love the Spring (Lily) design I made for Spring. But it's been up a looong time, and it is definiately time for a change. I'm not thrilled with this one though, not sure how much I even like it.(0) comments | Post a Comment
I Love Rain"I woke last night to the sound of thunder"... though I don't remember hearing it. I heard the rain though, and I loved it. So much that I didn't mind having been woken up in the middle of the night, and I listened to the lulling melody as I fell back asleep. Much to my joy, when I woke in the morning it was still storming! Not just raining, hard, but thunder too, and it was neary dark as night. Yay! I love the rain. And in this condo with the sound proofing so good, I rarely hear it. Which tells how hard it was actually raining. Happy dark, happy sounds. I stayed home from work today to enjoy the weather. I had work to get done though, and furniture rearraging to do so that I could keep the windows open without anything but the carpets getting soaked. But I managed to get out and play in the rain - jump a few times in a decent sized puddle, feel it on my skin and hair, dance a little, see a lightning bolt - before the storms all passed for good. I also had the window doors open next to my desk the whole time, so I was able to hear it all and see it lots and feel the air the whole time. :) And in the middle of it all (before I made it outside) I remembered today was the Summer Solstice! It had been at 8:40 something this morning, so I missed the actual Solstice, but I did manage to remember and do a little late welcoming ceremony prayer thing. A great way for Summer to start: storming! I don't think I'd mind Summer so much if this is how it was most of the time, instead of blindingly bright and horribly hot. Happy Solstice Everyone!
