We have been having a very unseasonable summer. Lots of rain and thunder storms and beautiful rainbows and not much in the way of warmth. We had at least 3 different storms come through today interspersed with periods of sunshine. We had one thunderstorm that lasted close to an hour and I was surprised that our power didn't go out at work. The cracks of thunder sounded like they were right around our building and the rain came down in torrents. When I went home at 3:30 Route 1 was closed at the Causeway so I went down to Shore Road and came up Broadway. There was another road block there and they wouldn't let me go down to my street but I could go to the street before mine. As I went up that street I looked through the yards and got a sick feeling when I thought my house was missing but I was looking in the wrong place. My driveway was strewn with fallen tree limbs but my house was intact. I saw immediately that there was no power. Rocky and I went out to the corner where some of my neighbors were gathered and got the low down. Two power lines had been knocked down but police and the electric company were on the scene. I went home, fed Rocky and curled up with a book. The power came back on just before 5:00.
I'm getting ready for my stint as guest chef at our summer cooking program for intermediate school kids. I'll be doing breakfast dishes: blueberry muffins, scrambled egg nests and mango lassies.
What I've been working on: Brought my Cricut to work to day to make a summer bulletin board. I used Paper Doll Dressup to make a string of children dressed in bathing suits and play clothes. I love that cartridge.
