Along our little dirt road, things are just groovin' along -- nothing much happening, but that's the advantage of living in the woods. I suppose there ARE things goin' on in said woods..like all the little critters gathering whatever it is that they eat...all the insects doin' their thing.

But as for humans, it's been a pretty quiet summer. Which is a good thing, 'cause if it got too wild and crazy, then there'd be something very wrong. There are a few somewhat flakey people not too terribly far away, but they tend to keep to them selves, making odd, loud noises in the middle of the night. Sometimes the sheriff comes down the road, throwing dirt and gravel all over the place, and making Little Miss Muffett pick her head up off of the couch, to listen to what's going on.

But we tend to have things quiet, and that's why we moved here. The planes, trains, sub-woofers and all the City things are far far away, an' that's just fine.

'Cept now we have something that may come at us in a matter of days, that will be making a LOT of noise, and that happens to be a storm called Danny -- ironically one name of a family member. Whatta hoot!! -- He's probably not even aware of the storm yet..probably should give the guy a call an' see what he has to say about it. I'm not getting all fidget-ee about the storm, yet. I just know it's out there, and today it seems to be really quiet outside, as if the animals and birds and lizards all know something is in the works. Maybe they know something we humans dont know.

But that's the way it is with some storms...I've read some REAL trippy stories about people seeing dead relatives just before a storm or hurricane hits...old buildings making odd noises in the middle of the night.

The only odd noise here is the sound of Little Miss Muffett and The Husband snoring so loud it seems like the walls shake.

But that's another story all together.

So today, while I work on a frame that's been giving me fits and spits, I'll be checking The Weather Channel and seeing if it's time to tell The Husband to go get a couple supplies (most of the "needed" items are up in the attic) an' see what the weekend brings.

For now tha's 'bout it. I'm just gonna hang out, maybe do my exercise for the morning before it jumps up to 95 Degrees like the weather people say the temps will be later today...

Anybody ready to MELT??!!
