Weather

With all of this warm weather it is really starting to feel like spring! Soon we will be planting crops and gardens and enjoying the sunshine.  We will be hearing the birds chirping and the laughs of the children playing outside once again. All the flowers will start growing and blooming. The world will smell clean once again.

It’s really exciting to think that the weather will stay warm real soon! No more heavy coats and bibs or overalls! We can go outside in our jean bibs and cut off shirts and work till dark. Won’t that be nice, to be able to work dark and not be freezing cold? Or to be able to go to the barn and not worry about slipping on ice or about having to bust open ice for animals to be able to get to the water? My favorite part will just being able to work outside again and not have to go inside to warm up. In the spring if it gets hot you still don’t have to go inside, you can just find the nearest hose or lake or pond and there you go!

The weather will be so great. One thing I love to watch is storms. You can almost smell the rain coming in right before it starts. Then the thunder begins and the lightning strikes, no pun intended, and the storm is fully active. Once the storm is over and the clouds are moving out, the sun starts to shine and the world just looks completely peaceful and calm. It is rather relaxing for me.

All storms are not calm, some turn real bad and become destructive. I remember when the Parson’s Tornado hit my hometown. It was awful so many houses and cars were destroyed in seconds. What stories do you guys have about storms???
