I just thought I'd share some stuff.  I'm sort of at a loss for words lately.

Last night we had a thunderstorm come through before sunset.  It was really eerie.  This is the library across the street from my house.


Then facing the other direction this is what the sky looked like.  You can see a faint rainbow and some cloud to cloud lightning.

I caught some lightning but it was cloud to cloud so you can't really make it out behind the clouds.


Monday I went to an Amish farm to their bulk food store.  I picked up a bunch of soup mixes and yeast because I'm going to try my hand at wine making.  Anyway, I took some photos of the Amish farm.  I could only get these two because the Amish are very picky about getting their photo taken and I didn't want to get whipped by any Amish farmer.  I think the house is the grandparents' house.  When Amish can no longer run a farm and they get to what we would call retirement age they go live with their children.

After the Amish farm I went to a cheese factory.  It was the end of the shift so there's soap on the floor and no one was working.  I like this place because they have windows where you can watch the process of making cheese.

The cheese factory also sells Amish bonnets and straw hats.  I tried on a bonnet because I'm going to get one for my mom for Christmas because she reads all these Amish romance novels and I figure she can wear a bonnet while she reads the novel.  Well a girl working at the cheese factory caught me trying one on.  I figured if it fit my head it would be big enough for my mom.  I was so embarrassed.


After the cheese factory it started raining and I came upon this Amish family.


I don't know if I mentioned this but I designed a parade float for my church for my town's Labor Day parade.  It was pretty simple but it required a lot of work.  I took photos of members of the church and had a printing company make banners for me featuring all the photos.

It's been so hot and humid again.  I'm ready for winter.

My house has good luck, Jesus knocking on my door and a mandella hanging on my door.  I'm set.

I think this is the first year I didn't have a swig with Nig.

I wish they let teachers drinking in the lounge.  No, teachers have to act "professional" now that they can be fired and can't negotiate contracts.

Have a great night.
