...and the rains came...

They say the rainy season has started early in Florida and whoever "they" are, ain't kidding! It's been a week of rain here in Central Florida. I know there have been plenty of people that have suffered from flooding but up here in the hills it was just what we needed.

The rains brought plenty of this...

As if the boy's don't sleep enough, Houdini spent most of Friday in this position. It rained almost all day and each time he went outside he came right back in.

...and this... Can it get any better? The rainbow ends at our house!

No retouching, honest!

Early in the week I got an e-mail from one of my best friends from High School (al-la Facebook) after 18 years of not being in contact!

Then, as if it could get any better, the rains let up and Melody arrived from Georgia!

Melody and I went from 4th grade all the way through graduation together. We've tried to stay in touch but it's not easy, we've both moved a lot. (As much as I resisted joining Facebook, I admit it has reunited me with some wonderful people! Thanks Geri.)

Due to the constant rain I've been staying inside and getting some work done, here are some of the results:

Echos, Botswana Agate and Silver in the Silver Lining shop now!

Moss is headed into the shop this evening, promise!

Oh...and a custom order, thanks ZooGirl!

See, it hasn't been all goofing around, although I do consider spending time in the studio play time.

Isn't life grand, even in the rain?
