Summer? Not Always A Fan

Open ocean. It ends at a sandy beach and square buildings with lots of windows.

It’s been awfully muggy this week…although a bit better today. Lots of storms, though.

Including a massive clap of thunder and lightning with opened heavens right as my butt touched the saddle of a Thoroughbred. (We were indoors, but metal roof, loud). Fortunately, TBs are not the reactive bundles of spook-at-everything people think they are. But it wasn’t a fun moment.

I’m heading out of town on Thursday and won’t be back until the following Sunday. Posts will be queued. I’m also not sure my posts are going out when I intend them to, Buttondown’s been a bit weird lately.

We’re going to throw a small birthday party for my mother-in-law then spend some time in Wilmington, NC. Apparently we have to watch out for the alligators when we go tour the battleship…I hope so! I’ve never seen a wild gator and I’ve tried…

We don’t normally do the beach thing but Wilmington has some interesting stuff. Wish us luck!
