Triple Digit Heat :: Final Day?!?

As of today, the weathermen are saying this is our final day of triple-digit temperatures . . . so I wanted a record of the final HOT day for the summer of 2011 . . .

Dancing with the Dawn

O lovely light, that dances with the dawn
In twinkling golden slippers on the lawn.

Nancy Richey Ranson

Rainbows and Butterflies

Happy Birthday, Gini . . .
I wish you . . .
rainbows and butterflies
wallflowers and starry skies
and dreams that aren’t afraid to come true
sunsets and autumn leaves
snowfall and make believe . . .

adapted from lyrics by
Billy Swan

P.S. I know it's a day early . . .
but the photo-op happened a day early . . .
and the lyrics just seemed to fit!

Morning Sun

Today I wove a pattern in the sun
Embroidered memories with threads of gold
And always where you came into the weave
I tied a knot and prayed that it would hold.

Not sure this is the same cardinal as yesterday . . . but he's in the same place . . . in the same tree . . . started chattering about 5:30 p.m. . . . this time I had camera in hand (with memory card installed) when I went to the door . . . he stayed around long enough for quite a few photos . . . but it was even windier today than yesterday . . . so I captured some interesting looking images . . . this was my favorite . . .

We had storms early this a.m. . . . with hail . . . and lots of lightening . . . I saw a ball of blue . . . connected to a lightening bolt . . . way on the other side of the pasture to the west . . . but after all of that, not even enough rain to wet the concrete driveway . . . we need rain! . . . (I know . . . be careful what you ask for!) . . .
