stormy weather

when it rains and pours all week in a small california coastal town, what do you do when there's a break in the deluge? you walk to the beach and say hello & goodbye to the setting sun. see you again soon sun okay? but not quite yet, there's another front moving in...

thank you for the mails of concern, we're not so bad, we're not in danger of mudslides or flooding. there's many that are though. i'm praying for all the people in the evacuation areas. and haiti. our flooding and storming seems awfully small when we see the devastation and suffering of this caribbean island and it's people. like so many, i'm praying for haiti.

how can nature be so deadly, dangerous and beautiful all at the same time?

be safe where ever you are.

puppy update:

after spending a little time with little n, we began to rethink his name. seems he's better at charming than thinking deep thoughts. we are deciding on something else, something the children can actually spell and pronounce. (and since hannah's realized puppy parenting takes more than just a little time) i am now officially the mum.

what do you think of owen? owen elias graham. there's a beautiful place we love, owen's valley, between the sierra nevadas and the desert. and elias is for this man here, someone we always want to remember. he seems to like it. owen it is then.

even though i can't help calling him fluffy pluffy poopie pants.

oooh, puppy love. it's a sure cure for rainy day blues :)
