First Summer Storm of the Season

Just before this picture was taken, Birdie shook her head, and then looked over at Julie with this smile.

Boo, trying to find safe harbor.

Yesterday afternoon there was a pretty terrific afternoon thunderstorm which scrubbed our plans to attend the annual St. Louis Park Parktacular when Birdie woke up from her nap.  Julie was out and about and pulled into the garage not long after the storm had broken out.  She was driving in the car thinking about how nice it would be to watch the storm from the porch when she remembered the trusty white plastic chairs that are usually yard party seating.  She ran from the garage--with two of them over her head--to the backdoor, where Ted met her, took them, and put them right into the porch, where we promptly put ourselves to watch the storm (except for Our Hero who was watching Cars and, really, Berenice who was less watching then fretting and hoping that if the world was ending as she suspected, there would be Greenies in heaven).  There might not have been Greenies, but it was a little slice of heaven.
