- 03/03/13 11:10 AM
Last night when I went out to the trash can, I noted that a new furry thing had been added to our patio. After an initial "what the" response I decided that the Wild Thing needed to leave. I spoke to him or her in my finest opossum screech . He responded by running his nose into the base of the barbecue pit. Ouch! I gave him a little time to regain his composure.

There is a yard art emporium that we drive by frequently.About a year ago, there was a huge purple elephant on display right along the entrance to the place.Since we collect elephants and since purple is my favorite color, I was attracted.

In the five years we have lived in this house there have been few rainstorms that produced effects such as the one in the photo. It resembles a waterfall.
Lovely to say the least. Sitting on the patio enjoying sound of the rain on the metal roof Was exhilarating!
The thunder and lightning that accompanied the water was not as much fun. it was active for almost an hour.
