August 8: Does Weather Always Come From the East in the West?

Tuesday, August 8, 2006

​I wanted to practice this morning, but figured if people were sleeping upstairs, they wouldn’t appreciate that.

Woke up at 6:00 to thunder and lightning. The wind and storm were from the east this morning.

The hummingbirds at the feeders seem to multiply. We now have eight. I guess they went and told their friends where the food is. There are some green flowers on the bushes below the feeders, and the birds eat from them, too.

My punctuation grammar seems to be getting worse.

All these people have seen coyote, fox, moose, elk, and bear. I’m jealous. I haven’t seen much. Not even a rabbit. I know I’ve only been here a week and haven’t been on the trails much, but I wanna see stuff, too.

It’s August and I’m using a heater. It was expected, but knowing and experiencing are two different things, sometimes. What will this winter be like?
