I'm writing this at 7:16 pm on Friday night. That proverbial March lion is roaring tonight as a severe thunderstorm and high winds shake the house and rattle the windows.
The power is out and I'm tired so I gave Scout his medicine and we are curled up in bed. I will read until sleep finds me or till the flashlight battery dies.
… or until the house gets blown off the foundation. All three seem likely at this point.
This front is supposed to move through in the next half hour or so. The weatherman on tv earlier said this and gave people some tips for surviving a thunderstorm. One of his suggestions was keeping both hands on the steering wheel if you're out driving. Do they teach nothing in driver's ed these days? That just seems like common sense.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy making lemons into lemonade and enjoying some forced rest. Sometimes that's the only way to get me to do it.
Here's hoping we aren't all flooded in this weekend and here's wishing safety to all those linemen who have to go out in dangerous conditions to keep us all with electricity.
Have a good weekend, friends.
