come saturday morning

i was going to call this post "saturation saturday" but it looks as if a watery sun is trying very hard to poke its way through the lingering mist. the run-off was still streaming down the center of the driveway when i walked the puppies this morning, the waterfall is foaming as furiously as niagra.

i slept well last night, even though i woke up a couple times because of the lightning and thunder. every time i did, the sound of the steady rain soon soothed me back into the same kind of sleep sam seems to be enjoying:



note her head on the pillow... isn't she cute? :)

here's some photos from the party last night:

this is baby jake and his daddy... can't deny this one, could he? ;)

and furthermore, the war will end. eventually. blessed be.
