seeing seagulls


Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you.
All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding.

Fireworks

Here I am wide awake after a magnificent storm. I live in an old farm house with 19 windows and a metal roof. It's hard to sleep through a storm. Amazing tonight. The thunder is still rumbling around out there, but no more bolts of lightening and brightly lit skies. Part of me wishes the storm might have lingered just a little longer to keep me company for a bit.

Fireworks tonight were beautiful in Mathews. Worth every little drop of blood sucked up by the ravenous mosquitos. Yep, forgot the bug-spray...which was not a good thing on so many levels. My son will probably ask me about malaria tomorrow. I've already looked it up because "I don't know" is not an acceptable answer. Mosquitos carrying malaria were apparently found in Virginia in 2002. Nothing newer gleaned from a quick google search. He is okay. We will live.

The storm is back. I'm going out to enjoy it on the back porch. What a beaultiful evening...or maybe not. Lightening just shook my house. How can everyone else sleep through this?
