The atmosphere prime for mayhem.
The sky pressed down like an anvil-dark and ominous. Violence raging high in the heavens above.
The air was still, as if the day was holding it’s breath in anticipation of what was to soon come.
Dead calm across the plains. A hot, humid, heavy feeling.
The building drumroll of thunder. A flash of jagged lightening ripped across the horizon.
Mother Earth reminding us of who is really in charge…

Barngoddesss: Two girls were talking excitedly in a restaurant and I couldn’t help but overhear their discussion about rain. But then the other girl said she volunteers at an animal shelter and 16 Cats were adopted in 3 hours!

Mother Nature is definitely in charge and has made that very clear this summer. What strange weather we have had. Most evenings I turn my window a/cs off for the night at 10pm. Not a usual event for summers in Dallas!!
