Rain

Four freaking plugins and several tufts of hair later, my cool little video of rain is not posted here.

Walked out to the front porch this morning because it was ‘monsooning’ -that’s what we call it, anyway. What made it all really lovely, aside from the noise of the downpour and the fact that I wouldn’t have to water the grass today, was the rainwater streaming down the trunk of this one palm tree. It was incredibly relaxing to watch and I wanted to capture that. Unfortunately my camera is not a worthwhile video cam and though the little movies look fine on my pc they look like dreck when exported in pretty much any format that I can embed. Especially flash. And the water cascading down the trunk is so subtle… it just didn’t work. And that’s why there’s really no post here. Ack!

HAPPIER NEWS -

Someone is stealing our mail -oh, joy- but they didn’t get my postcard from Writersblock postmarked from Hogsmeade!!!!! I can’t make out the date, but it could be opening day, as she and her hubby stood in line for several hours to get into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal… and they’ve already been back!

That’s one of the things I miss about living in Orlando… the parks.

Anyway, that perked me up; thanks, WB!
