This morning was just about perfect. Woke up and checked the weather on my phone. Storms were far enough to the west that I figured I’d at least get half of my 0-skunk-30 walk in before they arrived at The Planet. I will walk in rain. I will not walk in lightning. I played it safe, looping around the nearer reaches of my neighborhood, running my pedometer app and occasionally checking in with my lightning locator app. I figured if the storm got too close, I could nip home in no time.

And guess what? Just as I left the woods, which is the last thing on my route, dun dun dun, THUNDER! I was a half-block from home and I had done my whole three miles. And then! A beautiful rumbly-thunder kind of storm rolled through, dumping enough rain that I didn’t have to go out and water today! Yay! Not that I don’t enjoy watering the gardens (yes, we have *gardens* this year (knock on wood!)) but I think that rain is better than some baggy old kayak woman with a hose and watering can and I bet the plants do too. Like, “Oh dear, here she comes again! Duck quick!

I don’t have much else to say about today. Mouse sent me the frog photo this morning. I love my job and I don’t want to retire any time soon but I am envious of those who are hanging about the fringes of Zlske Superior without me. Is another storm bearing down on The Planet? Or is it just dark because it’s getting to be that time of night.

It’s raining again! And there’s rumbly thunder. I don’t think I’ll have to water tomorrow. Love love love love.
