Sky!

Being able to sit out on the screenporch eating cherries for three hours as the sun sets, and experience an awe-inspiring thunderstorm with the lightning bugs dancing under it, was almost worth the heat we've had so far this week. ...almost. What's the world doing where you are, this Solstice week?

I had a tornado warning evening in May! I had to go to Michigan for it though. Second tornado near-miss in my life. I feel the same way about summer thunderstorms as I do about winter snowstorms and autumn hurricans - vaguely guilty about liking them so much, given the misery they do cause.

Loving storms has been a guilty pleasure all my life, but I've loved them since I was little--the electricity in the air, the gathering wind, the awesome cloud formations and the way the colors change. And the scary, that's appealed to me, too, though I've been through so many (with and without tornadoes) that they're just exciting to me, now, though I do a lot of praying that no one will be hurt. It's a love that's hard to reconcile, at times.
