Drought and Storms

You all know that we are in serious need of rain. Well, yesterday we got some!!! While I was excited about the rain, we could have done without all the high winds and lightening. Chris was out of town when the storm came through which is not a big deal except that I am afraid of storms and I have been ever since I was little. I know it is silly, but I feel safer in a car or outside where I can see what is happening than in a house were I have know clue what is going on outside. Thankful the storm was during the day, so I could see outside.

While the storm was happening we got a big gust of wind or something, because our nice big oak tree in the back came falling down right next to the boys swing set. Thankfully, it did not damage the swing set. I was scared out of my mind. But I kept it together and the boys and I just sat on the couch and watched TV till the storm passed. The storm also had blown Chris grill off the porch. So thankfully, Chris dad came out after work and helped me pick up the grill and move the swing set out of the way.

I have to say, that it was pretty eventful day and I am hoping we won't have one again for a while. I will just welcome the rain!!!
