a good job to do.....

We have been "in our camp" for about 10 summers now, and during this time, one job that has never been done is... pulls on the doors and drawers in the kitchen. Every summer as we grab at the corners to open them, we comment ...."we really need to find some pulls".

I didn't want "just any pull" and I have been looking in several different places for ones that would be just right. This spring I finally found them...

They look like twigs.. and I think they are perfect for a camp kitchen. So, we ordered them, and they have been sitting here for over a month waiting for a few moments to have Ed get them into place.

Well, thanks to this afternoon thunderstorms... Ed thought it was just as good a time as any to get them put up...

And so he did.....

(No Camille is not helping, she ran to him when I was "busy" taking pictures!!!..poor girl!!!)

So, now we won't "break" our fingers when trying to open a door or drawer... just goes to prove.. that even when the dark comes down, there is always something productive that can be done!!!!!

thunderstorm!!!!!

This picture doesn't really look like much, but what I was trying to show was a thunderstorm that was heading across the lake. We had been hearing the rumbles all afternoon.... so, we knew we were in for a "good one". I am NOT a fan of thunderstorms, and was very glad that Ed was here with me... er, us... for the dogs are all here as well.

I don't understand what is going on with the weather, we are getting "August" weather and its only June. For the past week, we have had thunderstorms almost daily... and not just rain and thunder, but lots of lightening and often hail. It's kind of creepy. This, of course, has brought haying to a screeching halt, I was hoping that all our hay would be in by now, but we still only have the first two loads brought in over a week ago. I am sure the "farmers" are just as unhappy about this!!!

The dogs and I had been out playing in the warm sunshine, but the first real clap of thunder sent them to the door and wanting... IN!! For the most part, Moxie, Hunter, Trevor and Cole don't really mind the weather.... Tazzy isn't too happy about it, but she can "manage"...

Camille on the other hand... is a total wreck!!! And no matter what you try to do for her, nothing is good enough. I did get a "remedy" from the holistic vet, but as the rain really opened up.. it was too late to run to the truck and try to get it. I wished I had tried it, for as "fierce" as this storm has been, it would have been a good test for it.... oh well, I fear there will be many other storms this summer and next time, I will be prepared.

Here's Hunter and Trevor snoozing on the couch (you can see in the background how dark it was... this was at 2:00 in the afternoon)... Poor Tazzy is trying to find a place to cuddle in with them... but they hardly care about that.
The fire scanner came alive with activity... lightening strikes all over the place, couple of houses were hit, as well as trees down and power outages... (so far we are still in the light here)...

So, as I happily blog and Camille trembles at my feet, we are seeing a bit of bright sky on it's way....

Whew... it's almost over
