I need coffee.
Good Morning!
Morning all! We have the dreary overcasts today, but yesterday was a whopper! We had some friends over for a cookout, a couple (also displaced Southerners)we've known for several years and our Assoc. Pastor. We had just finished a late lunch on the deck after having listenend to thunder for over an hour, when the first raindrops fell. After the guys ran to roll up windows on the cars we had the first big downpour, so we sat inside and had dessert. Father left to go to another cookout with some brother priests, and about 5 mins. later (hopefully he got to the neighboring Parish in time) the bottom fell out. We were watching it rain and the lightning was getting closer when all of a sudden the HAIL began. There was so much hail, our front yard looked like it had snowed! We were concerned about the cars; we were afraid they'd get dinged by the hailstones, but none did. It lasted about 5 mins. then stopped abruptly. About 15 mins. later another little storm hit, and we wondered if we'd get a plague of frogs or something this time; it was wild! I heard on the news last night that there were several house fires because of lightning strikes in the Boston area.
We're supposed to go on a 'hay ride' at the farm of a local homeschooling family today, but the weather looks so threatening, I'm not sure we'll go.
My daughter and I are thinking of going to see FoTR for the 5th time; the local 'cheap seat' theater has it. I hope it has the TTT trailer!! Have a great day everybody!
(sigh) That's one of the things I miss, living in Texas... a nice steady, pouring rain. Doesn't happen very often down here. We did get some thunderstorms last night though, which will keep the grass in our yard from dying completely.
