Passionate Weather

That's what one of my friends calls the type of weather we're having right now. I love it. I don't mind being woken up at 3:30 with huge cracks of thunder. I mind the car alarms a bit. We've got flooded streets and power lines down. I'm only hoping that the university doesn't have more flooding because the floods last fall really put us in the red. That and the economy tanking. We really don't need any more major damage is all I'm saying. Part of me wants to just go walk around in the rain and get soaked. But while I'm at work I'll stay where I won't get too wet - there's a nice covered portion of the patio in the building where I work. It's perfect for getting the smell and wind of the rain without coming back looking like a wet rat.

Do you have a favorite type of weather?

if your grandma L was the iris, my nanny was the rose. green thumbs, big hearts. don't you want to be like them when we grow up? is that one of her bulbs?

i sleep like a baby in the rain. just came home to a thunderstorm the other night and told M that it was "sleeping weather". he disagreed. said it was too scary, still. :) i told him some day he'd get it.

If only this iris was in my possession. It is in a corner garden near a church where I sometimes park. Mel - it shares space with teh roses. =)
