Rain and more rain

We have had rain and more rain, along with thunder, lightning, and flash flood warnings today. I am actually not complaining--we've had hardly a drop of rain in over a month, and everything is baking.

Besides, I like storms, as long as I don't have to go anywhere. When I was a wee tiny child, I used to sit with my grandfather on his front porch, watching it rain. We would sit out there as long as it lasted--or until my grandmother would screech through the screen door that we were going to be struck by lightning and die. 

Amazing how long it would take us to meander in.

Anyway, since I had nowhere I had to be, and could watch the downpour through the sliding glass doors, I stitched all day.

And I have the second border for this section of  Carmen completed.

Now I can go back to the fun stuff. I'm already looking forward to starting the next band.
