a rare august storm

August 17, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner 6 Comments

On this Sunday morning, we are in the midst of an amazing, unusual August storm. Rolling thunder moves from one side of the house to the other. The air is electrified. I feel the couch tremble as another wave begins.

Flashes of lightening brighten the dimly lit room where I sit. John, Lucy and Annabelle sleep extra late, lulled by the glorious storm.

I write. But mostly I listen.

    That was so nice! I felt like I was right there with you. Today is the first time we have seen the sun for awhile. We have had lots of gloomy, cloudy, misty, foggy, rainy weather lately. Happy Sunday and a happy week to you. 🙂
