Today, as I’m sure you know, is Earth Day. In honor of it, Mother Nature graced us with not one but two thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are for June, Mother, not April. I was not home for the first one. Went out with a friend. Storm started right after we went into a store. You could hear the thunder in the store, and it was pouring when we were ready to leave. We waited til it let up a bit, then had to wade through a couple of tiny rivers on the way to the car. Soaking shoes and pants legs are not fun.

The second storm was a bit later, and I could see lightning bolts from my window, so unplugged the electronics til it passed. Not as much rain this time, either. Flower petals are so over now. All in all it was a good day.
