Tuesday evening when I was driving back from the Dance Theatre meeting, I noted that the clouds looked very grim. So grim in fact that they reminded me of those movie scenes which show the coming of the apocolypse. I looked at the trees and they were decidedly grey, though they had patches of brown too. And the wind was blowing hard … a flash of lightning in the distance, a gust of wind. Yiy. I just had to share that scene because of the thoughts it provoked.

… I hurt. I cut and split wood for 3 hrs. Oak. Ouch. I’m quite wiped out. I think I should sleep pretty well tonight I’m not too sore to sleep comfortably.
I nearly forgot how much I enjoy splitting wood though. It’s even more fun when doing it out in the woods (or a field near the woods in this case).

… kick ass. Gaelic Storm performed in North Hall auditorium tonight. I took Liz of course. It was my 4th time seeing them. I acquired their 3rd CD and a t-shirt. I’m still energized from that concert, which is probably actually a bad thing because I need to go to sleep. Next week we’re going to see Barrage at the Ordway Theatre in St. Paul. Liz says they’re similar. Should be interesting.

I’m back home. It was a nice and relaxing weekend. I took a total of about 227 pictures, nearly all of which turned out. There were some scenes on the way back that I would have liked to have captured, but didn’t, including a small lake with the fall colours reflecting in it, a shot of the sunset with jet contrails streaking out of it, and a gorgous shot of the moon rising. A very fulfilling weekend overall I think.
