greetings, isaac!

thanks for the thunder and lightning, and all of the pouring rain. though i'm glad i'm not here right now dealing with the really crazy rain, kayaking through the market does seem like a lot of fun.

mother russia? it's big!

We battled torrential rain, hail, thunder and lightning to get there, but the program was well worth it. I wasn't about to let the weather deter me from 

my love of Russian composers.

Works Performed:

Overture on Hebrew Themes | Sergei Prokofiev

  Symphony No. 9 in E-flat Major | Dmitri Shostakovich

a HUGE thank you to my aunt grace for giving us the tickets.we had a great time.

life according to some pictures

1. storm clouds. 2. rubber ducky and the rain 3. my fuzzy kitchen helpers

4. my new hair cut. 5. the city at night. 6. the mountains before the snowy season.

7. the temple all lit up. 8. rain (can you tell that i love it?) 9. my kitty loves me.

because i love my cats

The picture in the middle is my favorite. It was Stella's first time seeing rain. 

She was mesmerized, and wouldn't leave that window.

last night

"bolts of lightning, little rivulets of thunder. and i the eye of the storm."

i spent most of the evening in our sun room staring out the window watching the sky light up via nature's most amazing light show. nothing is quite so comforting or reminiscent of home.
