The first sign of summer

We have been confined inside for the last several days by severe storms that pounded much of the southern United States. Tornados swept through Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and Nashville is experiencing their worst flood in history. By comparison, we got off easy with a week of thunderstorms and a bad case of cabin fever. The sun came out yesterday, dried the grass and allowed us to venture outside to play. We weren’t in the yard 30 minutes before Benji was bitten above the right eye by a hungry mosquito. This morning his eye is almost swollen shut. I guess you know its summertime when Benji begins looking like a prize fighter.
