what a saturday....


Ran errands in the A.M and with nothing pressing on the agenda I took a lovely nap..


Woke up to the sounds of thunder, Very loud and VERY close..
I love the sound and smell of rain and we are in such desperate need of water down here so It was nice and refreshing for the kids and I to sit out on the back porch watching it pour.
Our grass is so dried and yellow, we have major watering restrictions at the moment. Folau stayed inside telling us more than once we will be struck by lightning, but it was so nice and cooled down quickly to the mid 90's.
Out of the blue came the brightest flash of lightening and loudest clap of thunder at the same time..
It was getting too close for comfort so we decided to head indoors, just then we noticed a house a few houses down the street on fire...
The last bolt of lightening had hit it... within minutes there were Firetrucks, paramedics, police, and many many emergency vehicles up and down the street and blocking access to the danger zone.
Thank you Lord for protecting us, and please bless those who are affected..
