Notes From Grace: Grease Lightning

Hi G-Fans!

There is some major lightning going on tonight. No one gave me the heads up, but it is a light show without rain.

Pretty exciting since we did a shortish walk in it tonight.

It was so hot today that the concierge would not have walked us in the daylight even if she had been home.

Luckily she had help in preparing for today since she had intel that it would be hot so she hooked us up with the refrigerator machine so we could be cool - nice :)

Last night we had the bog walk and I found a treasure and carried it home. The concierge wanted a picture so I obliged. She asked what was so amazing about the feather that I carried all the way home.... I didn't tell. Let her wonder.

And before I picked the feather up we ran into a turtle. We startled a turtle. (That was funnier in my head than written out. Oh well.) We also saw the Lady Slipper that we have been watching since it unfolded earlier in the month. It still looks good, so the concierge and i think. Raphael, however, tried to stomp it into the ground. The concierge can be pretty quick in reacting to things like that and thereby avoiding potential jail time by protecting the Lady Slipper.

Now tonight we had other excitement.

It was dark.

The sky was non-stop light show.

For those of you paying attention that means Raphael was jazzed as he loves a good light show.

Before anyone can say Jack Spratt Raphael scooped a toad into his mouth (like greased lightning) who had been minding his own business in the sand and eating bugs. Usually the toads are scooped and released. Kind of like how some people fish. Catch and release. Well, there was a release. But it was not a successful release. We had to have a little ceremony for the little toad who was no more. One less bug catcher in the world. The concierge is very disturbed by this turn of events.

And, she worried if Raphael could be turning into a toadaholic.

That is a thing you know.

Well, it is actually called toad sucking, not toadaholic, but you get my point loud and clear don't you? We are talking about the possible necessity for an intervention. I will keep you posted on that deal.

The concierge does not want any further fatalities.

So, that is it for tonight.

May you suck on tasty hard candy and not on things like toads.

TTFN!
