When Mother Nature is Angry...

...she controls no element of her fury. No gust of wind from her raging mouth is guarded, no flush of emotion powdered from her face, no electricity veiled behind her eyes. There are no lies with nature -- she is straightforward and truthful, never allowing the excuse of never knowing what was on her mind.

I took these pictures the other day when my family and I were on the lake. One part of a storm had just rolled through, but part two was on the way. We no more than got on the water and we soon were rushing back to the launching ramp to avoid any possible lightning. Nothing severe hit while we were there, so it was quite refreshing to be out when the air was chilly and full of rain above.

Have a great week everyone!

 I love crochet. There. I'm guilty. This selection used to be recent, but, what with the rate of which I go through yarn, this picture is about...five creations old. Maybe more. Either way, I thought you'd all enjoy seeing what all I've gotten into, art-wise, lately. I've been working on this batch since Christmas, and all but the last three are from patterns in books -- the last three photos are creations all of my own.

Farewell to the Lazy Week

Spring break is drawing to a close...and I am ready to start up the studying again! With a research paper to write and a three page poem I wrote to memorize in my future, it's going to be quite the change from my lazy, fun filled weak of rest. Farewell sleeping in til nine in the morning, farewell to staying up til eleven at night, farewell to no homework, and farewell to hours of reckless wildwoman behavior outdoors....Okay, I can still do that. But now the mosquitos will eat me alive. That's very discouraging to a wildwoman, you know.

Enjoy the pics above that I took on a wild photo shoot yesterday, have a wonderful Easter evening and a blessed Monday! (That might be pushing it, but I can't be the only one that wants to get back to a regular routine!)
