There were severe storms all night long, with lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and wind. It was thundering right up to lunch. The animals got to graze, and it was a pleasure to see them so happy.

I got up early to visit Sarah Harrington at the Cambridge Pantry; stories and photos to come.

The weather and storm were beautiful, and so was the sky as it slowly opened up. The grass and pastures are green, and the rain is good for us.

I meditated inside with the dogs when it poured and while lightning flashed and rumbled. They are great meditators; only Bud kept listening, ready to defend the farmhouse from intruders.

I need some color today; I chose one of the flowers.
