A for real storm, not one of those man made things. We've been without rain for weeks. I've been schlepping water to all the container plants, and talking myself out of hooking up the hose. We really NEED the rain, but it's going to come in hard and fast. What we need is a gentle rain.
The day started sunny and hot, and gradually the cloud cover has come in. It's rather still right now....the calm before the storm. One of the sites I visit online is the NOAA radar for our area. Based on their information, I'd say the hardest early storms are going to hit north of us.....LOOK OUT WISCONSIN! But, we should see some of that rain, and a bit more, through out the night.
I was a bit under the weather this morning. I think it's mostly due to allergies; I feel this way each Fall. I spent a quiet morning in the office, tidying up loose ends and getting ready to make a back-up of the company files for the CPA. I need a day to house clean, or maybe that should be "office" clean. I have some filing to do, and I want to pitch some things, and reorganize others.
What I'd really like to be doing is sitting in a comfy chair, wrapped up with a quilt, a mug of apricot tea at hand, and a good book. But, my eyes are scritchy, and I suspect I'd just fall asleep in the chair. Maybe if I blog for a bit, I can stave off snoozing.
I'd like to fall asleep later tonight to the sound of rain on the roof. I miss that sound.
