last night i stood outside and watched a thunderstorm
pass us by in the distance.

again.

the lightning was beautiful behind its veil of clouds

and i invited it into my garden,

but apparently, the party was somewhere further north.

i should have asked it

to dance.

Another morning, watering my plants; all week the promise of storms that just skipped by, leaving us dry. I’m afraid the rain has a full dance card.

I love watching lightning in the distance but in these days of drought, I keep hoping it visits me more often, too. Hope your garden gets the rain it needs soon!

I love stopping by for my morning smile (I am not a morning person so this is a big deal to me). Thank you!

Have a thunderstorm rolling through here at the moment. I’ll ask it to head back your way and make sure to have its dancing shoes on.

That’s funny. I did the same thing last night – only I didn’t have such a pretty lamp to keep me company.
