Nightly Sounds

We haven't had the best luck with mother nature so far this summer. Last week one of the trees near the house got struck by lightening. Saylor was staying at our abode for the night and was just falling asleep when it hit. Apparently he thought we were in the middle of a tornado and figured it would be safer in the basement. I've never seen anyone run that fast.

First weekly barbecue at the house last night in the middle of a rainstorm. Ended up grilling in the garage. Quite the meal of sausage, dogs, corn on the cob, and steak. Had people over afterwords for some shenanigans. I nominate Pickles for wingman of the year.



On a completely unrelated note, my new goal for the summer of 2011 is to find and tame the fisher cat we have behind the house. About every other night it is screaming its head off, awakening me from my slumber and taunting me to do something about it. I've never hunted fisher cat before, but I am reasonably sure that I would need some sort of tracking beast to get the job done. We currently have 2 animals at our residence, a medium sized half crazy dog and a very tiny black cat. Anyone who has seen the dog in action would agree that my best chance for success lies with the cat.
