lots of activity around here as workers prepare to paint my house. Much needed powerwashing� and as I leave today, they're diligently scraping . . .� by painting, I mean major changes. No more green or white, it'll be much more subtle.

The link is from my daughter's church, which I've been attending on and off all summer. Some amazing things have been happening there, especially when you stop to think that most churches probably perform on the average of� 2 or 3 baptisms during the course of a year. BTW did you notice the angel on the ladder with Fernando? look look look

Shortly after the workmen left, they returned with news of an impending storm. We all worked diligently, moving boxes which had been in the garage, into a van and the big pieces went onto the front porch. No sooner had they left when the sky darkened, the wind whipped, and a torrential downfall descended. As I was running up the stairs to close windows, there was a deafening crash which stopped me in my tracks. Water was cascading from every inch of the roof, for I'm also in the process of having the drainpipes replaced and only yesterday, other workers had stripped them from the house. Afraid to continue on upstairs, I ran back down and out to the porch. There in the street is the scene that greeted me below. Seeing that it came from the neighbor's tree, I ran up the stairs once again and this time I did close the windows. In the room closest to that neighbor's house, a stand had fallen over, which had on it a basin and pitcher that my mother had made many years ago. The basin had shattered and the crash that I heard was the stand going over and probably, lightning hitting the tree next door.

As I write, the sky once again darkens and a distant thunder speaks in low, threatening tones, seeking out it's next victims. When, it ended 20 minutes after it started, it left a wet cop and a traffic jam in it's wake. Now once again the rain starts . . . gentler this time but building, no wind. I'll post some more pictures to take my mind off of it

internet connection lost but I have my aircard . . .rain building, thunder closer, drainpipe situation bad over my rear porch . . . sirens going by, power is off. My neighbor Don isn't home, hope his girlfriend isn't in there alone.

This is a shot of my front porch, taken this morning as I waited for the cement truck to arrive.� I bought the patio furniture second hand, scraped it down with a wire brush and painted it. There is also a glider on the oposite side and what Iike about every piece up here,� is that it either rocks, bounces or glides. Hard for me to sit still, I guess. The house will be painted, soon

oh here he is now

still life

workers� getting ready

this piece hauls the cement from the truck to the garage and pours it

I will refrain from commenting here except to say that these men worked very hard today and the slab completely transformed my shoddy garage

here you see the woodwork inside of the garage, specifically my new breaker box. it is built from old fashioned 2 by 4's, good solid barn oak and there is a chimney is for a wood burning stove. I've already located one and am going to get it installed, just like in olden days. There is also a ladder that goes to a loft above, which is also being wired for light.� I haven't been going into the garage because it's so funky but with the electricty and cement floor, all that will change
