The afternoon rain nourishes my butterfly plants, and the boys are snoring softly….

Mom ran off to explore the wilds of Colonial, on the hunt for bargains for the B&B. So I am here, alone, listening to the sounds of nature’s dance upon the roof. My yard will be grateful for the generous soaking. So will the damn weeds.

Mom was here when I got out of class last night. Man, she’s awsome. We hung out and had a few glasses of wine and talked till late. This morning, after being bombarded with beagle smooches, she and I had breakfast at Pauly’s Diner (yummy place). She is now off exploring. I’m working on my paper that is due today. And tonight I am going to the library =).

I miss my family sometimes. It’s nice to have Mom here.
