Local counties crawling through a tornado watch by middle-morning while Yali and Patience are at VBS... this doesn't last though...

After lunch Yali and Patience are tearing up the park... sunlight and cloud shadow rolling over sweet clover patches in a green field... hawk floats above in high wind...

We walk the perimeter of the park before we leave while Yali and Patience give me lists of all the things they would include in their dream home... juice bar and trampolines and pandas and a gold mine and watermelon patches...

Drive Puck to work discussing the MEPS physical test on Friday...

Patience to the studio for just an hour...

Some fantastic plumes of cloudscape slashed with sunbeams...

Puck hurries home at seven for a plate of steak and to test out his newly sharpened Floridian machete on a cereal box... before driving out to O'Fallon to hang out with J's new kittens...

Evening slips into panels of rich blue thunder then lavender and glowing amber rain in the west...

“In my dream I had to be in a tub of pickles and I was so afraid!” – Yali
