Pic a Day - 9/9 to 9/15

This was our rainy week. From Tuesday mid-morning to just this morning at midnight, we've basically gotten sprinkling and misting and drizzling and hammering, and perpetually wet-dirt backyards and soaked-grass fields and damp shoes and people carrying around umbrellas. After all the heat everyone complains about, we get a week of pure bliss, though some people (the very complainers) continue to duck away from it and keep their hair dry and do everything to defend themselves against it.

I don't see anything wrong with rain. It's wonderful. It's perfect. At night, it's the thing I want to hear. (Unless it starts increasing in intensity, pounding on the window and walls, and it comes with super-loud thunder blasts, and if we didn't live in the desert I'd think we had a hurricane on our hands.)

Our TRUE Day of Independence

Yes it is. July 2nd. Google it.

In any case, I was more patriotic than usual. Not waving an American flag in anyone's face or anything, but, you know, dressed in the colors...

dressed all patriotic-like

eating Flaming Hot Cheetos

 

they were so hot I almost cried

And here's our celebration. Small. Quiet. Boring. The thunderstorm was more exciting than us. But, of course, that's how I always see it.

my favorite pic - I practically burned my thumb off

my dad lighting a firecracker thingamajig - the loudest thing, definitely

Yeah. Also, random note, today was our first day of rain this summer. Some pics of that...

just the random dry patches under the trees

And also...
A demented pretzel.

Thanks for looking. Happy Independence day everyone.
