A new easy listening band? Maybe... I don't keep up. This is the calm after the storm. "Isn't that supposed to be 'the calm before the storm'?" you ask. Usually, I suppose. But, this morning, we woke up to chilly temperatures and nearly still wind conditions. Last night, thunderstorms rolled through the area. We kept an eye on radar, since there was strong winds and hail in the northwestern part of the state. But, the worst of it missed us. Just rain, with thunder and lightning. With the shade pulled back on the skylight at the front of our living quarters, we could see the flash, then count the seconds before we heard the thunder... it never got closer than a few miles from us.
It's that "light travels faster than sound" thing... kinda like: some people appear bright until they open their mouth and speak. But, I digress.
The weather where we are didn't get severe. Rufus did sit a little closer when the thunder rumbled, but he didn't seem too bothered by it.
This morning: bright sunshine! Winds less than 5 mph. Cold enough that I put on a jacket while making pancakes, bacon, and sausage on the griddle outside. Then took Rufus for a walk.
We are ready to take on our day.
