When I got woken up last night with the sound of a strong rain on the roof, I was in the middle of a dream - one of those where you know you are dreaming but in the dream, you are not sure if you know you are dreaming or it's real and you wish you were dreaming...so I wasn't really sure WHAT woke me up, but it felt like a Sunday morning somewhere and why wasn't anyone bringing me some hot cocoa and the NYT's? (that's dreaming!) But it's Tuesday, and it really was rain and wind that seemed to continue on and off for hours and I made coffee instead.
Right now it is grey and windy, though to the south the sky is broken with the sun trying hard to shed some light.
Winds out of the NE, the skies have darkend, the wind picked up and more rain starting, even as I type...I think I'll just go with the Sunday theme and enjoy coffee and a book.
Official news from SJU -
Now A band of showers and embedded thunderstorms will continue to affect the northeast sections of Puerto Rico...Culebra and Vieques and the northern U.S. Virgin Islands through at least 900 am. Some of the showers and storms will produce periods of moderate to locally heavy rainfall...reduced visibilities...gusty winds and dangerous lightning...as well as ponding of water on streets and roadways.
The grass in my yard is still very long and when I went out to take pics, it was flattened by the weight of the rain, and swirled in intricate patterns by the wind...or dream horses were sleeping here...

I have to add a partial bit of the other discussion out of SJU because of the language used...this guy must be caught in the dream as well...sag? draped? I love it when science guys get poetic!
Discussion...the remnants of an old frontal boundary began to sag
south over Puerto Rico late Monday evening...and this boundary
remains draped across the northern third of Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands this morning. |

Yep. I'm sure that is what they are but I didn't want to say it. Did you see where a bunch of pilots etc. asked for the govt. to re-open UFO studies because they say they are real? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7091922.stm
Here's one for anyone who ever poisoned or abused a dog http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7093422.stm
And then...for you people who think your cat is special? Try this one

Life is weird and then it gets weirder! How can ANYONE ever be bored???
Yes...weather! It continued grey, bits of strong rain, then muggy for awhile this afternoon. Then...
A call came in about Gretchen's birthday party at The Spot and it beat looking around here wondering if I should paint something, throw out something, or just wander around the yard cutting down intrusive stuff. The weather got cool in the overcast and perfecto mundo! So it goes.
Happy Birthday, dear Gretchen! Happy Birthday to you!
Rockin' 40!

Gretchen and what started as the Lavender Girls (often there is some inexplicible color theme that happens here...we don't know why...today it was shades of purple) and ended up...whoever jumped in the shot (the Kilroy was here head in the background was our Montana Jeff, enjoying the view).

Jeff,
I appreciate you filling in for me whilst I toil for the legal tender to make the journey to fill in for you.
Very truly yours,
