i worked on the banner saturday night but it wasn’t the way i wanted so i got up yesterday morning and started working before even drinking any lapsang souchong at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i asked for kevin’s advice, and voila! here it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

on wednesday evening, after yet more rain, i happened to look up from my ipad where i was playing games, or maybe i was clearing some of the many many emails that i don’t care about out of my computer – and i looked up, and there was this glorious rainbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we hurried down to the shore and the left end of it looked like it sank right down into the lake. so cool! plus i can’t remember when i’ve seen a full rainbow, plus there was the bonus double rainbow, although just a portion of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

anyway, it has been rainy. just friday morning it rained three and a half inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

two weeks ago, the 5th, this is how hard it was raining. it was incredibly windy, plus there was some small hail. as i was taking this picture kevin was saying STAY AWAY FROM THE WINDOW. luckily, no branches smashed through. whew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

buckets and buckets of rain…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

at water’s edge, this little pin oak tree that kevin likes tipped over. he used a metal bar to prop it up, and it’s still hanging on. the giant tree next to it continues to lean precipitously into the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

after all the rain that day i stepped onto the front porch and noticed an unusual dragonfly caught in a huge spider web next to the door. it wasn’t moving and i figured it was probably dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

its two front wings were bent, and i carefully pried it from the web. it did a little flapping, and i smoothed down its crumpled wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i set it on the porch rug and it looked remarkably OK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

i went back inside, but then kept coming back to check on it. it finally made it onto the front walk, but i figured it might get smashed there so i carefully coaxed it onto a leaf and set it down in the front garden area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

the next morning it was gone, and in my mind anyway, it flew off and is now living a contented dragonfly life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ok then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
