Under Wide Open Skies

Q: what do you get when you pour rain on a hot, dry plain?

A: a high temp of 92 with a max humidity of 94%

(summer dresses are required.)

On my way back from ballroom lessons, the sky was absolutely fantastic! That's fantastic to the point that the neighbors saw a girl wizzing down the street on a bicycle shouting out things like

"wowahweewah!" and "now that's what I call a sky!"

Behold the sky à la 9:15pm!

My dad said it looked like two dogs kissing...

What do YOU see?

Luckily I remembered to turn the ISO waaaaaay down.  I don't really know anything about photography, but I'm glad I remembered that, because it makes such a difference! (above)

There's really nothing like a sweeping mid-western summer sky to make you want to kick off your shoes and dance!

Spring at Last!

PSYCH!

Happy May 3rd everyone...

Okay - so it actually DID turn into spring eventually (about four days after the *crosses fingers* final snow of the year)!

Any what a glorious spring it turned out to be!

BEHOLD - the time for cracking out shorts has arrived!

      

     Just because it's spring, doesn't mean you can go completely nuts!  Always keep a good head on your shoulders:

    (oo)

I grew a robot head guys! (above)


aaaand...zee new shoes!

Happy spring, happy mother's day, happy May, happy green growing things!

Go home mother nature, you're drunk!

Ah sweet April...

filled with rain,

 rain boots,

and...SNOW?!

 

And we all thought the weather was joking when it snowed on April 5th...oh boy were we so very mistaken.

APRIL 10TH:

(insert small period of melt and slush)

 APRIL 13TH:

 (insert small hopeful period of melt)

APRIL 18TH:

APRIL 19TH:

 (insert once again and few days of glorious melting)

APRIL 22ND: (folks I kid you not...)

 same day video.

I'm sorry weather, but it's time that you and I sat down for a serious chat!

It was looking hopeless, and I had finally accepted the fact that we were coming up on the next 

ice age.  What we needed were some serious:

Which by some unnatural miracle were gifted to us finally on APRIL 26TH in the form of nearly 70 degrees of glorious sun! 

(took you long enough weather!)
