Bourne to run..
Hey, guess what?!?! Its RAINING again...! After a completely sunny and dry (and hot) day yesterday, its dark and stormy...my freshly washed car is getting pummeled...I can't wait till we build a garage or get some means to protect my car...I've used car covers before, but they still let dirt/rain thru..they keep bird doo and tree sap off, tho...as much as I love rain, I'm ready for it to go away...
The reviews are coming in and it sounds like this third installment will be fantabulous like the previous two...I can't wait...tix are bought, plans are made...we'll be there first thing Sat morning...
Sunshine...my car is clean and shiny and gorgeous...all the spiderwebs have been blown out...
We have 3 (Three!) orb weaver spiders building webs just outside our backdoor...they are gorgeous...I left the back light on last night to help bring the bugs to them...we spotted lotsa smallish toads hopping in the yard as well...I'm tickled to see all the critters out here...I plan to take pics of the spiders, but I won't post them w/out a warning cause I know lots of ya'll are skittish about spiders...and the big one is nice and big...she's wonderful...
Austin was fun, but after awhile I had to come home...I found that everywhere I went, I was spending money, even if it was just $2 at Sonic...but I haven't been in Austin on my own in weeks, if not months and I had errands to take care of...even some new glass to pick up at BlueMoon...it was a good day, but I was glad to be home...isn't that funny? I'm really acclimated to the calmness of the country...its not like we are in the middle of nowhere, we are actually just a little off Main street in this town...but even so, its quiet...I can hear the birds and squirrels...I hear trains...I don't hear sirens or horns honking or traffic buzz...its good...
I'm going to process beads and get them shipped...back later...

Donna,
I know what you mean about acclimating to the country. I live in the city and visit my sister in Napa, CA. Her home is on a little knoll above a small vineyard (not hers) and it feels so normal to sit and watch wild turkeys, deer, tons of birds and lizards just do their thing while I sip wine or iced tea.
NOT hearing the buzz of the city is what should be the norm for all us humans!
