This is what the sky over my house looked like around eleven o'clock this morning. It took a turn after lunch and by two thirty was pouring rain. Again.
Neil, Holly, Elijah and I went to Panda Garden for lunch. This was in my fortune cookie. I should be receiving my Nobel Peace Prize any moment now. No? Stranger things have happened ...
Does anyone know what in the world this is? After lunch, Holly was driving around, trying to lull Elijah to sleep for an afternoon nap, and we saw this thing laying in the road. At first we thought it was a giant walnut or a knitter had lost her ball of yarn. On our way back, Holly's curiosity got the best of her. She pulled over and snatched it off the road. It was heavy and kind of sticky and had this white stuff oozing out of the stem area. There was a tree on the side of the road that had these things growing on it. Weird. Not to mention this activity jarred Elijah out of his dream state. He never did take a nap. Holly took it home and was going to let Shelby dissect it to see what it's like on the inside. I hope they take pictures.
