We had a fierce little storm blow over us last night.
We stood outside watching the approaching dark clouds. Listening to the thunder respond to the flashes of lightning.
The dogs did not seem to share our curiosity in watching the storm roll in. The younger dog sat between us like we were her sentries against Mother Nature. The older dog vocalized his disapproval of the audacity of the storm coming into his territory repeatedly.
We were wondering how long we would be able to watch the oncoming torrent before we ourselves were chased inside. It was not long regretfully. After about ten minutes into the show someone above opened the gates and the water poured down. After being down poured upon we proceeded on with our evening routine, but found ourselves peeking out because the storm was becoming unruly.
Loose limbs were being dislodged from trees, and we were thankful we had taken the time to pick up all of the free items before it became so drafty.
Later after everything had calmed again; we went back outside to enjoy the cooler weather and the beautiful Texas sky which is always that more engrossing after a storm.
This storm for me, this particular day, was a very enjoyable one.
