Big booming thunderstorms on & off all day. So good thing I got that gutter cleaned out the other night I guess. During one of the "off" phases I managed to get the first 20 feet of this plastic edging pounded in on the garden beds along the driveway. Hopefully that'll keep the soil erosion problem under a bit more control. This evening Sarah and I took turns cooking dinner and trying to keep the dogs from freaking out too much. Then watched some TV poker. Ahhh... how do we handle all the excitement...

And now, let's wrap up the week with these photos of the 2006 Mummer's Parade. Some nice behind-the-scenes shots and I even recognized one of two bands from the TV coverage we saw.
