Mostly Cloudy

Today has been cloudy, and so, of course, I've heard many complaints about the weather and how gloomy it is: This despite the fact that we've had so little rain this summer that most of my annuals are teeny.

I don't buy into the whole cloudy or rainy=bad thing though. Rainy days mean I don't have to feel guilty about spending a day playing Wii or watching cheesy movies. Especially in the summer when I feel like I should spend every moment possible outdoors. Plus I loved grilled cheese, and rainy days seem to be the best for those also.

Besides, the Hill of Tara wouldn't have looked nearly as cool if it had been sunny out:





Granted, we did almost get killed by lightning in the downpour that started shorty after these were taken, but that's a whole different story...

Where's the bridge?*

This is very funny to me, but probably not so funny to anyone who has ever watched a movie with me: especially a "historical" one.
