yay for fridays.

*miss elena playing in the rain*

we love rain and thunderstorms around here *, and the next week promises a bit of both. as i write this the sky is lighting up with crazy neon zigzags and making the sky look purple. it is awesome to watch.


today it was not so awesome when i got caught in a fast approaching thunderstorm and had to ride my bike home with thunder and lightning on the horizon. i was trying to beat out the storm all the while having visions of me getting pinged off my 1942 airflyte with a stealthy bolt of lightning and zinging through the air.


halfway home it was apparent i wasn't going to make it. hooray for trusting + friendly neighbors to the rescue (i love the midwest)! thanks to amy, the random person that unknowingly opened her door to me and whom i just met. she kindly gave me shelter to wait out the storm and let me use her phone to call someone to help bail me out. amy, you are the cat's pajamas!


needless to say, this weekend started out kind of exciting. i'm all about the sun, but i'm actually looking forward to some rain so i can get some projects done, do a little bit of baking, dabble in some art, and continue an ongoing monopoly game with the family. i'll share on monday.

happy friday and happy father's day to all the dad's out there!


*i should add that everyone loves storms except our poor pup, sake...she is terrified and has an all-around terrible time with the racket. the vet said to have her wear a tight t-shirt to help calm her down...if anyone has any suggestions, i would love them.
