Day 338 of 1000
We had major thunderstorms in a lot of North Carolina today with high wind. I was very sad to see some huge branches of our persimmon tree broke. It seems like a metaphor for something, but I cannot think of what it might be right now. I took a picture and decided it looked so much better than the picture of Grandpa Lauro and I that I would use it as the header for this blog. It is probably not that good of a picture, but anything is better than a picture of two old fat guys with glasses on their noses putting a puzzle together in a messy house. My thinking is that if I just improve the header a little bit each time I change it, in about ten years I might have something pretty good.
Que triste ver la rama del arbol quebrada!
What I liked about the old banner photo was that someone was relaxing on the couch in the background. I saw that banner a couple of dozen times before I ever realized that. The new banner is nice, too.
Also, “when it rains, it pours” is hardly an idiom in NC. It is more a simple statement of truth.
Ha! I did not notice Kelly back there in the picture until well after I put the picture up. As for the raining, we really did not know what “real” rain was until we got here. All it does out in Oregon is drizzle all the time. The rain out here is much more fun.
