Rain Clouds @ MindSay

When the storm broke,
When the rain began to fall,
When the thunder and the lightning struck,
And the rain and the four winds did howl?

Today is a glorious day to be in the great out of doors. The puffy white clouds that had been floating merrily above have been pushed away by a line of darkness as a storm front moves through. The rumble of the thunder only adds to the grandeur. I can only hope that the rains and the winds do not spoil my vantage point of the spectacle, and force me to run with laptop in hands to the safety of the interior of my humble abode...

And I will sit here and watch it all unfold before my eyes until the time comes when I can no longer do so. The end is not near yet, but from the looks of the sky this may change at any moment. At least the chipmunk is not worried about the storm yet to come as it scurries from his home beneath my porch, up the sidewalk, across the street to wherever it is he goes for he always goes the same way...

I can feel the change in the temperature as the front has moved by though the storm I was wishing for seems to be a dream that will never be realized. Behind the line of black clouds that roared that a mighty locomotive as they passed by, there are the fluffy clouds that started this parade that are now pushing the storm clouds along to the place that they are heading. I do not know where their final destination may be, but I do know that it is far away from where I sit at this moment...

And now I shall declare this storm officially over as the large fluffy clouds make way for a brilliant blue sky, and so shall I end this entry into this Blog - with so much potential for destruction that never materialized...

But I do hear the ice cream man's truck as it nears my street so the world is not that bad at the moment and I shall rejoice in the glory that it provides though I wish I had a few extra bucks so that I had a reason to stop the ice cream man...

Random pics and pictures of outside right now.

It's been raining for the past two days. And it hasn't be the nice kind either. There's been no sunshine no rainbows just a whole lot of cold wet and muddy. One minute it will be raining cats and dogs then it will stop and I'll think the rain is finally going to stop and it will be sunny again, then the next thing I know it's cats and dogs again.

I've lived in Michigan all my life so you'd figure I'd be used to our sporadic weather by now. But no, I still hate it. This is supposed to be spring, I want warm weather with lots of green things around. I want to see hopping happy little bunnies not dark gloomy clouds and thunder.

But Spring in Michigan is not like Spring any where else. We have fall and winter type weather until like mid April then it's a hot and muggy 90^o with humidity that makes it feel like a 100 and up temperature. So, if you really think about it, Michigan kind of only has two seasons, The Hot One and The Cold One.

But I still wouldn't want to be any other place in the world, weather and all, Michigan is a great place to live.

 

Thanks,

[Update: It Warm up guite nicely. No more rain, or gloomy clouds. It's warmed up to a comfortable 50 degrees or so. No bunnies and rainbows yet but it's beginning to look like spring :) ) 

Clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages tryin' to find the sun.
And I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain...

If I had to choose one thing in this life that I found most enjoyable and that I could enjoy everyday of my existence, it would be a good storm at night. Whether it is rain or snow, it makes no difference...

Give me a lifetime filled with storms at night and I'd be the happiest soul alive. There is just something about the sounds of a storm that are devoid of the sounds of man that are appealing to the very core of my soul - something magical that I can never put fully into words nor should I try for I would fail miserably at the attempt...

The pouring of the rain or the falling of the snow during the nighttime gives me a sense that I am the only one experiencing that very moment and that's the way it should be. Everyone should have the sense that they are the only ones experiencing something, it's a magical feeling and there are too few magical experiences in this world for science has taken away some of the mysteries of life and replaced them with dull and boring facts and statistics...

In some ways it's a shame to live in these times to have everything explaining in such a rational, analytic manner. Where is the joy in knowing all the answers? Where is the mystery left in this life?
