Lightning….

Lightning streaks through the sky at night,
Chasing shadows going left and right.
Clearing the way for more to come,
Dancing in the darkness, not to be outdone.

The wind howls and provides its song,
For the lightning to dance all night long.
With crescendos of sounds; crashing and banging,
Any loose thing can add sounds clanging.

The clouds hide the stars and moon,
The sound of thunder, echo the doom.
Of the power within the streaks of might,
So beautiful God’s writing with electric light.

It’s Snowing!! January 17th, 6pm.

The snow finally arrived!! We were waiting for about a day and a half for this snow to come; the weathermen just beat this snow storm over and over. “Inga” i think it’s name was, and it wasn’t at all as spectacular here as they threatened it to be…. it started around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, but really didn’t accumulate until later in the

evening.

The only bad thing that happened to us is that the well lost pressure; didn’t freeze, just that the pump could not maintain pressure. So I have a call into the Home Warranty Company, and they are sending out a plumber tomorrow.
