Apparently we had a twister touchdown briefly not far from Barrie. I took this photo on my way into karate, learning along the way that you if must stop to instagram how cool the sky looks, you will get wet.

It was one of those beautiful storms where the sky opens up all at once and it’s as heavy as a good shower head. Everything went dark, and the streets were under water in minutes.

That light up the street is from a film shoot happening just outside the dojo.  I love the ambience it lent to the scene!

… And to this scene.

And by the time I got out of class, nothing. I had to walk home in my gi–my jeans were soaked right through. The St. James park was lovely afterwards.

Nothing beats the smell of a garden after the rain.

Here’s where it gets random ;) I wound up the new handspun – 93g of goodness that has been commissioned by Tito for a Romney Kerchief. I love that he wants to actually wear my handspun!

Random thing 2 – these earrings have tiny little daisies inside, and are mounted to antique copper, overlong earring posts.

And random thing 3: These are my favourite thing ever. I may just have to make a few more to ensure that I get to have a pair for myself as well! These, of course, are destined for this weekends show.
