Moon

 Here's a dramatic ends to the month! Rain, rain, and damp so pervasive that the house filled with mildew. What a summer!

Lightning Strikes...

 I was in the kitchen doing what I usually do during an electrical storm: counting the seconds between the flash and the BANG! Five seconds to the mile. I counted to eight, then five, then CRASH! Thunder roared before I could count at all. I let out quite a squeak. It hit, we found later, at tree just across from the kitchen window. 

Pieces were blown out of the trunk and scattered about the yard. Later, we found various devices no longer worked: the dryer, the television, the computer that drove the television, Jo's metal detector (perhaps unrelated).

Mr. Knife

 This is easily the most over-engineered utility knife (and scraper) I have ever acquired.

Yes, of course I love it. How can you ask?

Shedding Light

Fiat lux! I started wiring up the lights last October--I finally finished. Just a bit of shingling on the North face, and the 25-year woodshed project will be complete!
