First off, apologies about the sideways pictures. They either get in there sideways, or they don't get in there. I can't change them when I'm selecting them, and I dont want to change the format if I want to print them... so sorry.
Yesterday, George set up our tent to camp in the backyard, and then it started raining. Hard. Rowan didn't care, he wanted to sleep out there, so they did. The benefit of the rain? That the constantly barking dogs in the neighborhood on any normal night were silent and dry INSIDE their houses.
Milo and I did our usual night visiting. He really wants to keep close tabs on us, so he makes sure we're still around when he should be sleeping.
I don't know what's gotten in to me, but I'm back sketching plans of our upstairs, thinking constantly about where we can get ourselves an extra hundred thousand, and wishing for construction to start any minute on our second floor. Oh, it must be rainy and getting cooler. Now for all the months when I feverishly wish for more than one room to be in.
Yes I know that makes me sound snotty and priveleged, considering how much we have, and how insanely lucky we are to be dry and well fed, and not evacuating our flooded home. All the rest of me is very embarassed, but I can't be completely zen about our little houseall of the time, can I? Whether I can or can't, I'm certainly NOT. Yet it serves us just fine. If only it were paid for and we didn't have a mortgage like the rest of the US. Then the whole freddy fanny fiasco wouldn't really creep me out.
And speaking of creeping me out, I just looked at the polls for the first time today, and McCain was ahead. This is the first day I did this, and the last, because I need at least the next fifty days to hope that something will be different in January when our current fearless leader gets the hell out of town.
Maybe you already saw this, but it's worth a view http://www.peteyandpetunia.com/VoteHere/VoteHere.htm
