When It Rains Here in Dirtymon - Land, We Celebrate

Here in Dirtymon Land we're finding new and low-cost (for us anyway) ways to celebrate the pending graduation of Heir II from high school. Who needs to buy celebratory balloons that will pop and be nothing when you can have self-sealing bubbles that re-appear each time we get an inch of rain.

This first one arrived several weeks ago when we were in the beginning of monsoon season. We caught it just as the weight of the water was too much for elasticity and the remnants flowed down the wall onto the fireplace hearth, thus no photographic memory.

The second appeared yesterday during the height of our latest storm and we saw it in time to grab the camera and get this neat photo -- as if we needed physical evidence to show our landlord. Moments later, it too burst and flowed along the inside bricks of the chimney, down the safety screen before puddling on the hearth.

We informed our landlord the first time and will show him photos this time. He's been busy of late what with providing us with a good kind of water. We know he'll find the source in due time, though he may have to wait for another heavy downpour to pinpoint it.

In the interim, we'll keep the camera ready as the Heir's date with destiny nears. We wouldn't want to prevent H-II from any less acts of celebration.
