I can't remember when it rained so much at the beginning of summer. The days of sunshine have been wonderful, but to a small extent. After a few hours of cranking out some good work, it seems the sun just throws in the towel and lets the thunder, lightning, hail, and downpours soak me clear through to my underwear.
There haven't been too many exciting animal encounters this week, just some goofy deer. Does(plural doe?) come up behind me while working and scare me, while yesterday three adolescent bucks walked through camp like they owned the place! Coyotes have been coming pretty close to camp as well...
As I was about to chow down on my third helping of Bratwurst for the evening, a co-worker said I was driving up the road in my Volvo! Turns out it was the lovely Kalee-Wobs making a surprise visit to camp for the night with Sasha in tow! It was perfect timing, for if she would have come 30 seconds later, she wouldn't have been able to have the third brat, which was still piping hot and topped to the gills with mustard! It was wonderful to see both the girls, as Sasha is going into the vet tomorrow to have one of her 'love lumps' removed and I will not be able to attend(THANK YOU KALEE!). We enjoyed a few brewskis, and then headed to what I call the 'condo' to retire, as, once again, it was pouring rain.
All in all, a great week for getting work done(except when I high-centered the Jeep 8 miles from camp) and some good rainbow watching in between the storms. Let's hope this whole summer thing kicks in soon...
This rainbow came in just as the girls rolled in:
Still rainy and cool in Portland too, dammit
