Wind, Rain, Color

The neighbor’s tree arcing in the powerlines looked a little like the full moon behind Resa’s Tree.

Fluffy clouds between storms

Spunk had to hit the cheese this morning after being up most of the night watching and growling at the buzzing, popping, and flashes from the tree branches arcing in the powerlines.

Got Comet?

Full Moon behind clouds and Resa’s Tree

I tried to get the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet the last few nights. It should have been in the top third, just right of center, but I could only see a few stars and wormy-looking clouds.

We’ve had a lot of wind the past few days—ripply water on the Rio Grande.

Late breaking news. As Tristan was leaving tonight, she noticed “fireworks” to the north of us. The fireworks were the wind blowing the neighbor’s tree branches in the powerlines, causing them to arc. I called the fire department, and they sent three fire trucks to check it out. The wind died down by the time the fire department arrived, so they didn’t get to see the show, but they could see where the branches had been arcing on the powerlines. The power company is supposed to come out after they finish restoring a power outage and trim back the branches.

Will You Be My Friend?

Pre-dawn

Jake and I went out for a walk yesterday afternoon and crossed paths the a coyote for the second day in a row. When I told Jake to sit, the coyote also sat, looking like he might like to be friends with Jake. The coyote was apprehensive, given the fact that Jake is three times larger than the coyote.

It started raining while Jake and I were on our walk. A bright rainbow came out of Shey’s tree.

Pre-dawn. Jupiter is the bright spot.

heading home

Jake has become quite the Cosmo Dog. He rides in a sports car. He goes to the office and works with pretty women. He goes to Starbucks for Pupaccinos and mingles with the patrons. Today, he met a couple from England who own the balloon with the British flag.

Stuck in the Middle…

Pre-dawn

Well, do you know why I came here tonight?
To buy a board, I could cut in broad daylight
I was so scared that I stood there impaired
Caught up in their marketing lair

Christmas to the left of me
Halloween to the right
There I was, stuck in the middle with no clue
Yes, I was stuck in the middle. Couldn’t move!

Got Cheez?

40 Hours

The wee hours of the morning.

A pretty pine cone

Jake put in 40 hours at the office this week. All the staff loved Jake; he got so much attention he was worn out by early afternoon today.

Jake’s version of TGIF!

Veteran’s Honor is a huge bloom.
