I love weather. I love to watch it change. I am fascinated by forecasting it, watching storms. In some ways I enjoy most any sort of weather, so long as it doesn’t get monotonous. I’ve had some fun watching weather here, although the situation is such that I miss most of half the sky.

On this day I was teased by a fog bank. It came in as you see and then sat there. I wanted it to roll up my little valley but it just stopped. I’ve seen it do this a few times now. Only once has the fog come up this valley, and that was in the night.

In other excitement, Johan discovered a big toad hiding (poorly) in the guest court. This guy is about the size of my not inconsiderable fist. When he got bored with posing he took a leap! It was funny since this made Johan make the “monkey noise” (he shrieked).
