How totally bizarre – what must Weather Pixie be thinking? Thunder, lightning, a bikini, and an umbrella with a metal frame – there’s a recipe for camera-ready disaster.

At least the little kitty isn’t there, too. At least he has enough sense to come in out of the rain. And yes, I know it’s not a bikini, but who cares about “One-Piece Weather Girl” or “Maillot Weather Girl?”

It seems to be raining now (hard to tell where I sit) and so yay for all the plants and lawns and flowers, I say. Not so yay for anyone that has to work outside in this murky, muggy muck.

The thunder started today at 730am or so – really early in the day for such doings, but it was still in the 80-degree range. Ah, the joys of warm, muggy nights! At least we have air conditioning, although we don’t really get that much “coolness” upstairs.

Actually, there’s not that much coolness around the house in general, come to think of it.
