Weather

The weather here has been CRAZY!
Yesterday it was hot and muggy then by 5.00 PM we had rain,
with the sun out full force.
By 8.00PM all the fans and windows were open, we were dieing of sweat and heat.
About 9.30 PM all heck and high water broke loose.
The rain started coming down in buckets and more buckets.
It sounded so good and started cooling things off, then it really hit.
LIGHTENING, THUNDER
like I've only experienced once before.
Grandma Terrill, Amy, Karen, Heather and I
were camping in the Utah mountains. It was so loud and so on top of us
it was a storm to scare a person to death.
Never before or since, until last night have I been in a storm like that.
I would see the lightening and then the thunder right after.
The storm was all on top of us, some times it would shake the flat.
It went on for over an hour.
It was wonderful sleeping last night, cool.
Today cool, cloudy.
Sunday it was very HOT almost 100 degrees, (here 38 c) also Monday.
It is supposed to be cool for a few more days and then who knows what?
I keep putting my winter clothes away and then I have to get them out again.
I finally took the flannel sheet off the bed and now it is cool.
I broke out my summer clothes and wear them it seems, every other day.
We love the cool not cold, warm not hot. How picky are we anyway.

I totally remember that time in the mountains. What a storm that was. That might be why I really prefer to be inside when a storm comes.

It's so funny how it's getting cold here and warm there! Scott says he could do an Australian Christmas, a day at the beach sounds good to him!
