$1

From 2010 Blog

- No it's not the Northern Lights but a simple light painting completed with $1's worth of thin chemical bracelet lights from Target. We always check out those dollar bins just inside the door at Target stores. Sometimes we find cool bargains like these lights, other times not much of interest.

Ah - Rain!

From 2010 Blog

- After 10 days of mid to upper 90 degree temperatures a front moved through tonight bringing cooler air and a light rain shower.
