Just yesterday morning, I actually complained a little that I had no
rain pics to post for moody monday.
I'm thinking that the universe heard me loud and clear.
Here I was, on my way to do the usual pick-ups and drop-offs,
when I see the sky turn black.
Most people would see this, and scurry straight home.
So, I grabbed my camera, abandoned my car and ran straight to the beach.
Here it comes. Can you smell it?
The boats are all pointing north.
When the first bolt of lightning hit I was out of there.
(Interesting side note: I just looked up the word "lightning," wondering if it's spelled "lightening," with an "e." The definition of Lightening:
Not to be confused with a discharge of atmospheric electricity, lightening refers to the sensation that a pregnant woman feels when the baby drops.
This is the time when the presenting (lowermost) part of the fetus descends into the maternal pelvis.)
Here I am, waiting out the storm with Christine, in her driveway.
Can you hear the universe laughing?
When we all got home, there were piles of the funny stuff everywhere.
Here's a handful, right here.
This one was really refreshing and tasted great!
Inside my house, the crew was already at work, cleaning up the bodies and
mopping the basement floor. (if only.)
That universe is SO funny.

Yikes - sorry about the basement. What beautiful photos. Remember the smell of wet concrete? And animal print bathing suits? (Uh...not their smell, per se)
Oh - gorgeous smelling rain!
Nature giveth so much and taketh away too-
So sorry to see your basement.
Hope it is all better now.
Wonderful photos, the storm makes the sky look like there's a big bonfire going on and the smoke is just blending into the sky.
I wish we would get some rain... that sounds lovely! That's some big hail!
Thank you for the The Good Year window suggestion... you will have to pop over and see if the window comes into view... not sure which day I will be posting Good Year... Friday or Saturday.
