April 12, 2010 First Thunder

Walking home from work today I heard a little rumble in the sky. Then a little more. The first thunder of the season! I loved it. We just got a short light shower and the thunder moved on. As a kid, I remember my mom or my grandmother saying that you shouldn't plant anything till you've had a good thunderstorm to wake the ground up. I think of that every spring and wait for that first good thunderstorm. Today didn't qualify but the next one might! If you have a "word of wisdom" passed down in a similar fashion, I would love to hear it!

Freezing Rain

Evening Rain

Another quiet day in our home. The big news, there is a storm on it's way. First layer is to be freezing rain. There will be a nice thick, slick coat of slippy sliddy on everything! Second layer will be a heavy carpet of fresh new snow to hide all that ice from those walking or driving along. Lastly the wind will pick up, blow some of that snow around and polish the ice so it gets even more slippery! Things will then improve with high temps below zero!

Feeling better maybe normal in the am :D

Blessings!
