Lovely Weather

Wind, lightning and thunder! I have them all today commingled with rain. After the dry spell we had this is most refreshing. Right now I'm as cool as a cucumber. Just yesterday I was saying to a friend that it seemed as if we would get no September rain. Well... It is here. If I were younger I'd probably go out and skip around in it. Suddenly the trees appear much greener. I wonder why.

Guess I'm still a child at heart. Playing in the rain has lost none of its appeal. I know that it's not becoming for an adult but, man oh man, the thought of it gives me great pleasure. I used to love flood rains as a child. We would watch the water swirling around and wish our parents would vanish so we could go outside and enjoy splashing in it like the other children on our street.

Well, that only happened once when my father went to get my mother and brand new baby sister from the hospital. Boy! Did we have fun! Of course a nosy neighbour scolded us from across the road. We went in but she wasn't satisfied it seemed because she told our father when he returned. Of course that didn't end well for us because he spanked us soundly.

Well I daresay I wouldn't get spanked if I were to play in the rain today. Nevertheless, I'm going to be sedate and responsible, I hope, and stay dry.

Have fun with whatever weather you are having.

Be blessed.
