I absolutely love the rain. So the past two days have been wonderful! Thunder and lightning, very very frightening….We even got some hail and, luckily, it was pea size, so no damage. It’s been drizzling all day and we have been in a “winter” storm warning since yesterday. Lovely. I really like walking in the rain and it soaking my hair. I don’t know why, maybe it makes me feel like a kid. 😀 The only difference between storms now and storms when I was a kid, is that you were guaranteed the power would go out when we were kids. No chance of that happening, since the city just finished burying the last of the power lines. Kids these days are missing out! When we knew there was a storm coming, my mom would pop up a bowl of popcorn, slice cheese and apples and we’d have a picnic by lightning and candlelight after the power went out. Sometimes we have special nights like this, where we turn off the tv and the lights, set out a picnic on food trays and eat popcorn, cheese and apples in the living room. It makes for special, memorable times for our kids.
