Last night we introduced Terry to Mystery Science Theater 3000 with an episode that was rated #6 by fans: Werewolf. She was obviously entertained, judging by her laughter. 

I've been enjoying the stunning cloud formations that have been building daily, but last night was the first time we (finally) got a storm out of them, complete with howing winds, lightning, and thunder.  This morning the sky is bright blue again and it's another beautiful day in the neighborhood!  

We've been watching the birdhouse just outside the kitchen window where some violet-green swallows have been bringing food to their babies.  We've only seen two peeking their little heads out the 'door', though of course we have no way of knowing if it's always the same two. The parents also seemed to be encouraging the little ones to fledge, though hopefully last evening was not the night they were ultimately successful, or those little ones would be quite soggy today.

I woke up early but went back to sleep this morning - hoping my good night's rest will enable me to check out the heavens tonight with Cosmic Mark over at the astronomy hut.  It's still light-ish here at 9:00, so planet and star-gazing means a late night <g> for me.
