I think the battery on my camera is on the fritz. While I type the text of this entry out I’m charging it yet again despite fully juicing it yesterday.

Yesterday was odd. It started off sort of cloudy in the morning with a chill in the air. The early afternoon brought intense sunshine and oppressive heat. I was in the garage working when I noticed a snake crawling around the garage door. I approached and he slithered off into a bush.

Then around 4 pm dark clouds rolled in and it started sprinkling. It was barely enough to break the heat. About twenty minutes later incredible rain and lighting started. Then came hail. Half inch hail. Then more sunshine came. Then more rolling thunder, howling rain. It came on like a hurricane. White lightning flashed across the sky. Somewhere out there Brian Johnson from AC/DC clapped his collar bones together and let out a squeal of delight.

Then I noticed the same blacksnake slithering behind my easel. This is when I grabbed my yardstick and wrangled him so I could drop him off in the brush in the back yard.

I took a photo of me and the blacksnake on the front porch. Then I took a photo of some baby birds that are in a nest under the overhang on the front porch.

Then I worked a bit more. Then ate dinner and watched the Celtics beat the Pistons.

Today I went back to yoga and here I am. Waiting for my camera to charge. About to get back to work on my various paintings. Sun’s out. Snake’s probably on his way back. I’ll probably let him hang out this time. Keep the mice from coming in here for the dog food.

I know I told you all that there’d be progress shots up today but I’m going to devote tomorrow’s entry to nothing but paintings since today was taken over by nature’s wild bonanza 2008. I can do that. I’m the CEO of Hookermedia. Inc. LLC. Corp.
