thunderstorm


It is raining, raining, raining outside my open window - open to let in the fresh, cool, damp air into our stuffy room. Just turned to hail and back to rain. When I was small I was frightened of thunder, I think because I thought it too close a cousin in feel to earthquakes, but now I love storms. I don't worry about lighting strikes or the thunder taking down my ears. I simply enjoy the security of sitting atop my bed with the window below me and a storm just inches away. And remembering summers and warm autumns of running outside in rainy storms. I went out to dinner with Lew tonight to Ivy, a very nice restaurant downtown, and I have leftovers in the fridge and mud on my boots. One more week until spring break!
