calm before the storm

I took these pictures this morning while everyone else was asleep. It's a beautiful day today and I hear it will be again tomorrow. Everything is very lush and green. About 9 people are in the kitchen right now whipping up stuff for appetizers for the big party that starts in a few hours. I'm in the bedroom trying not to horf. Sadly, this is not a nervousness thing. I just feel nauseous, like stomach virus nauseous. We're hoping it goes away sometime before tomorrow.
