Actually, of course, a majority of that part of the village has to report to work? on Monday. We are still here.
Just before noon as the conditions outside started to assert their high temperature, high humidity, high heat index, high dew point ugly selves, this happened:
The power company guy arrived fairly expeditiously and reported that the wires were intact but that, as he put it, "all three fuses are blown", whatever that means. It mostly means that devices which require electricity to function had stopped functioning.TCWUTH and I crossed the road to see why the chicken had crossed and also to get this from the other side perspective:
A closer examination of the prime mover of this event reveals that the tree was rotten at its core.
The power was out for about three hours but came back on in mid-afternoon.Another string of storms blew through just as we finished evening meal. For a time it seemed unlikely that we would even be able to leave the house. But eventually there was another pause in the action and the three remaining visitors, all feeling a trifle under exercised, decided to give the beach one last try. Here we are at Tunnel Park as my SU contemplates her ritual bolt up the stairway.
Unfortunately for her, I turned my attention back in the direction of the state park for a photo of Wireless and discovered the storm was looming and again threatening to catch us away from shelter.
We headed on back. We had an extremely surreal moment after reaching the sanctuary of the deck. It was raining on the side of the dune, including raining hard enough to make the stairs wet and to make the grass at the bottom of the dune wet. It never rained a drop on the deck. There has to be an edge somewhere and we were standing right at the exact edge of the rain.SU liked these clouds and asked for a picture.
Tonight's sunset:
And just after sunset:

Very pretty sunset. I'm missing the lake already.

Wow, and is that just the REGULAR sunset w/o fancy camera functions? Pretty good. Does Wireless's camera also have that function that takes 10 lbs. off the photographic subject? The photo possibilites would be endless. BTW next year I should provide you with the BEST blueberry recipe ever...Blueberry-Rhubarb pie. You'd have to save up some rhubarb from that season and haul it along or something, but man, it is DELICIOUS!
