Just another day in Paradise.

ain! ...last night to be specific.... a deluge came pouring down on my house.

Not just simple rain, not sweet refreshing rain, but the kind where God tips up the bucket and dumps it right on you...that kind.

 And so, at 4 AM this morning I was outside in the pitch black with my flashlight under the pouring rain rigging something up to protect my back door from the waterfall what was pouring down from my roof. And, as I stood under it to get a makeshift sheild to lean against the door  I was drenched completely.Soaked!
 Ice cold rain-soaked.

I should have a shower head so effective.

Being enclosed with forest in the back it's always an adventure to walk around there flashlight or no.

My soffits need replacing and the gutters are shot in that area so when it rains, it rains on my backdoor, under it, around it..Its a huge problem and a huge mess.The threshold has gone because of it. Can't be doing my foundation any good either.
Well, one of these days........
I came back inside soaked to the skin, changed and went back to sleep.
But never fear! It was sunshine heaven today.
Yes, the sun actually came out and regaled us with tales from it's vacation, wherever that might have been.

Anyway, here is a nice photo of the dunes in autumn.
I love how the Creeping Jenny turns bright red.Not alot of it in this photo but, there is enough to show you how it is.
The dunes are massive. Just over the ridge is the beach and the ocean.






 I realized I had not updated A Passing Storm since summer so I added a picture I am working on. I am always working on several at once.  I have to keep that more up to date I think. I use it to store some things.

Have a lovely day tomorrow.

Oh. If you happen to enjoy Robert Parker novels or just murder mystery in general you might like to see THIS a Jesse Stone movie starring Tom Selleck. It's on youtube as a full length movie. If you see it, I hope you enjoy it as I did.
