Running Out of Puff : or a Slow Day in Blogland




Terrifically hot and muggy. Yesterday afternoon I said, 
"Let's take the dog for a walk."
Immediate torrential downpour, enlivened by the approach of a woman clad
 entirely in scarlet. By the time I got my camera out, she had passed by.


The rain made plants in planters sparkle.

Tomorrow, one of the best writers in blogland, Weaver of Grass, 
is encouraging fellow bloggers to write about what inspires them.
I love the idea of inspiration, of having a lovely muse breathe
 exciting things into my ear. Please join in if you feel like it.

  1. Love the rainy street scene, though I bet your dog was none too pleased.

    What inspires me? Hmmm....

  3. How does Buster like the rain? One bichon here loves it - Misty - but the other one hates it and has to be dragged along, the whole while looking up at me with big eyes.

    but last night
    it sounded like Giants
    walking
    or
    running around my yard
    so i went out
    and looked for footprints
    this morning...

  6. here in NJ it just kept getting more and more humid with sudden little tiny spritzes from the sky

    we never got the downpour that cleans the air and makes the heat rise up off the pavement

    I will check out the inspiration blog :)

  7. It was certainly hot and muggy, like today. The flowers look beautiful.

    I hate when I miss a photo op because it took forever for me to pull out my camera. Happy a lot. ;-)
