The Big Room is scary!

solarbird and I just got back from our jaunt over to Lake Forest Park Town Centre, which was fun (we had lunch, I got the book Nerd in Shining Armor as per cafiorello's recommendation, and then we got soda and I got a frappucino). But before we left it had started to rain, and on our way back it rained in earnest. Now as I write this, Dara and I are hanging out in the living room--and Dara's got the double doors out onto the deck open.

This is by itself rather cool, as it makes the living room pleasantly cool and a little breezy. But the really fun part of this is watching the cat thinking, "HOLY CRAP! That's the Big Room out there! And I can go right into it!" Trouble is, it's raining, and that's disturbing her deeply. So she's hovering uncertainly near the open doors under Dara's watchful eye. Hee.
