I think Maeve has hinted more the direction I thought you might be going with a home study. Good luck with that - you'll sail through.

We've had a non-stop thunderstorm over us for about the last 12 hours, and it is heating up into tornado watches this morning. This is the Gulf of Mexico moisture being pulled toward the Rockies for that huge storm the weather service predicted for the weekend. I hoped it might mean activity further north or west - places that are still hurting for water. We are saturated.

Today I'll finish the comforter that last night I worked on to tidy the binding around the outer edge. Now the knotting with yarn and maybe I can put this in the mail next week. Meanwhile, I'm sure we're under flash flood warnings and though (knock wood) I've never had water in the house, this kind of weather is the sort that might make it happen. I need to be ready to move furniture out of the lowest level in the den.
