Where did the water go??! ~ I took this picture (above) about three years ago at nearby Lake Chesdin, and I took the ones below two days ago. I'm starting to forget what having a rainy day feels like because of the severe drought and heat we've had this summer. We have been walking out on the dried up lake bed and it is nothing but acres and acres of deep dried up cracks with little shells, dried up tree stumps, and old tangled fishing line. I just know we will have some rain one of these days. At least the days and nights are getting a little cooler now.

Suzie Girl ~ She's weighing at least 50 lbs. now and still trying to sit in my lap, best dog ever!!!!

Silvery Night ~ An ACEO size painting I recently did and...

The Western Edge of Hurricane Earl ~ I'm glad he stayed out to sea but we could've used the rain if he had stayed longer.
