Today our city was overtaken by thunderstorms. Hail, freezing rain, pink lightening streaks and rolling thunder colored our morning. We all went out on the front porch to watch the spectacle and couldn't believe the good fortune of having such cool weather (quite literally).
Because the skies were gunmetal gray and we had a good bit of the day left to live, the kids begged me if we could:
- pop the microwave popcorn our friend Aileen sent us
- play Christmas music (for general cheer)
- and turn on our fireplace DVD, complete with popping logs.
I said 'yes' to all three, and we have enjoyed a most unusual and cozy day. To make matters even better, our water stayed on all day today (unlike the last two days) and our power has not succumbed to the storms, which is nothing short of a minor miracle. And then there's the fact that daddy comes back home tonight after being gone for the previous three days.
Sigh. Thank you, Lord.
Why, of course. What else would you do on a day like that?!
