The Storm Has Departed

We had an intense thunder storm early yesterday evening.  It came at us full force with high winds, heavy downpours, and lots of lightening.  I am thankful that we did not have any damage to our house.  We seem to be in direct path of most of the storms that go through this area.  Laney was scared and trembling.  I am glad it passed through quickly. 

The rain lingered through the night and we had heavy rain this morning.  Thank goodness that the violent storms were gone.  For some reason we had a power outage during the night.  I'm glad it was over by dawn, as it was starting to get hot upstairs.  There was some flooding in surrounding areas.  I guess we are lucky that we are on a hill. 

I am thankful for the rain due to the fact we had a drought last summer.  It has kept the grass green and my flowers are growing and are beautiful.  The sun has graced us know in the afternoon, but the humidity is still very high.  We are hoping for a beautiful weekend. 

We are getting pumped up for the Light The Night walk with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  I hope we surpass our fund raising goal of last year.  I am very grateful that my husband is doing well.  Life seems to be getting back to a normal routine.  We are both happy and enjoying life.  The clouds have parted and the sun shines with love and determination.  Life is beautiful !!
