Sun----Sun??

After 9 inches of rain on July 3rd, and rainy days every day since, we are finally seeing the sun!!  It is wet everywhere, kind of unusual for semi-arid Lubbock.  The nice thing about the rain is that it has kept the temps in the 70s and low 80s.

This is a wall cloud, but with no rotation so it won't produce tornados.

Couldn't resist these clouds--sort of look like the mountains I love so much--nothing wrong with dreaming :)

Can you find the------Cat?

                                                                              
                                                                
Boomer loves it when I quilt, mostly because he likes to lay on the quilts. 
This time he didn't even wait for me to get it finished
before he tried out its "Sleeping qualities."  He is a true product tester :)

Oh My!

Our new neighborhood is a "Front Porch" neighborhood with home designs from the 20s and 30s.  The houses are all different colors--like a package of M&Ms.  Soooo the color house I wanted was an olive green with red trimmed windows and off white trim.  However the colors cannot be repeated on the street.  There was already a red house, a blue house, a yellow house, an olive green house and a tan house.  Soo our color is a very pale pea green.  Not what I would have chosen at all--we have red fish scale shingles on the front gable, a red front door, off white window trim, off white house trim and a pea green house---uh well it will look good with Christmas decorations.  I love the house so much though that I really don't care.  Pictures to come :)
Okay, here is the finished color of the house.  It is beginning to grow on me--although it is not my choice.  The door will be red like the gable and has 6 windows at the top.  The porch rails still have to be put on.
 The painted living room and the finished rails and banister.
