looking out my window it was raining nicely, the bookstore across the street: Als' News has the famous Harry Potter in their window for a special price of $28.00...so I just had to get some cash out for it....the rains lasting and lasting even with my umbrella and people ducking in the doorways of stores, children in our lobby waiting for the downpour to stop...one hour later it is still raining...I may tell you my sandals were soon wet and water flooded up to my ankles in places where the sewers are catching the worst of it....rain in 3 " depths pouring down in waves on the concrete, cleaning the air and washing the sidewalks...Ft. Collins restaurants in Oldtown serve their customers with many  outdoor patios like Old Chicago and the new Drunken Monkey patio with a family safely outta the rain, enjoying their meal - many outdoor umbrellas for the customer   at Austins, Perkins, Beau Jos' and more...everyone running caught without umbrellas...soaked to the skin! A bit of roaring thunder overhead assured me it won't soon be finished.

        Thank you Lord for the most beautiful rain we needed!

On the way back downhill as i scurry along, many of these business doors  in Oldtown are open to catch the chilling, fresh breeze..... seeing a large gathering of artists - like Friday first night art galleries are open to the public  - except its Thursday - whoops - I put down my drenched umbrella, crashed into the crowd of well dressed people...saying: excuse me,  Beautiful scenery, well-done, detailed artworks, with droves of persons for their opening, ' a private party  'she said,....see the new paintings...so I walked into the crowd, soaking wet, admiring the sculptures of Ruth Bell Skogerboe...Rebecca McClive at rebeccaz42@aol.com 

BARBARA MOORE CREATING "lASTING iMPRESSIONS OF rOCKY mOUNTAIN cOUNTRY"... Kate Dardine at ..also  Barbara  McCullochS'   oils and watercolor    - someone telling me well, gee whiz, "it was a private opening, but she wouldn't tell..."obviously   I wasn't dressed for the part, but did get a delicious hard lemon drink...[.AND A SNEAK INTO THEIR NEW ARTISTS...CREATIONS...]...MUSTN'T TAKE THE lemon drink outdoors, drinking with a thirst   unwittingly &  unknowingly that it was actually a licquor' ! Splendid, no wonder it packed such a punch! Such amazing works created in part of oil, those copies of the real thing, and the most grilling scenery brought to life.

the thunder shakes our building with majestic power of our almighty  Universe. . . we give thanks for our much needed moisture...flash floods are NOW definately possible, cause I have walked in the downpour much to my delight.
