An Itch

Looks like whoever designed that hands-and-light banner that LJ was wearing for a couple of weeks got raptured yesterday, because they've put up a new banner even though it's only the middle of the month. Or maybe it was just the banner that got raptured. Anyway, the new banner is far more pleasing to my eye than the other one was. It depicts some sort of flowers, apparently sculpted from pale pink salmon. Mmmm, salmon.

The sky has been sporting quite a few thunderheads today, but so far the predicted electrical storm has not appeared. I haven't even heard any thunder from the mountains, where the clouds are thickest. Instead of thunder, the cool evening has brought the chirping of crickets and (alas) the buzzing of mosquitoes. I welcome the former but could do without the latter. I think I got bitten while I was out feeding the cats and watering the jasmine.

There was a coupon for a free can of spray air freshener, so I got it and made the mistake of using it. Now the house reeks of cheap floral scent and chemicals. It's too chilly to leave the windows open, so I'll just have to wait until it settles. In the meantime I'll probably go outside and watch the sunset. Thunderheads make for nice sunsets.
