Sucked Into Another Dimension

Sorry for the lack of posts but I was sucked into the Facebook world and, regrettably, I have been spending all too much time trying find my way back to reality.  But here I am and I will endeavor to be better about posting (seems like I say that a lot).
The weather has taken a turn for the better!  It's sunny and warm at last in Olympia!!  We've been spending a great deal of time outside enjoying the sunshine.  Dog and cat are loving it.  I put a little rug out on the balcony and now they don't even want to come in at night (so I leave the door open for them in case they change their minds).
We had huge thunderstorms last night.  Olympia didn't take any direct hit but I could see the lightning in the distance and it was spectacular!  We just don't get this sort of storm west of the Cascades as a rule.  It is an extremely rare occurrence.  There were stars and the moon overhead but the flashes would shine against the storm clouds in the distance and it was really eerie and beautiful.  I sat outside watching it until I was falling asleep.  Very cool.
