11/23/14 After the Storm

We were sitting outdoors last evening, just before dark, enjoying the stillness of the night, when, it started raining.

There is nothing more soothing than listening to rain hit a tin roof.  Wait, what is that sound?  Hail? yes, hail, about marble sized.  Friends on the south edge of town received hail that baseball-sized.  

Then, whoosh!  here comes the wind.  Patio chairs start scooting across the concrete; rugs drying on the back of the chairs disappear across the yard.  We quickly move into the kitchen area to get out of the rain.

During a break we ran to the motor home.  The wind was blowing at 25 mph.  Note: someone at church said there was 60 mph winds reported in some parts of town. There was one inch of rain in the gauge.  



These spider webs sparkled with rain drops in this morning's sunshine.


We were greeted  with hugs from friends at church this morning.  The church family celebrated Thanksgiving this evening with a pot-luck turkey dinner.  A family deep-fried a turkey, as well as traditionally oven roasting a couple of turkeys.  

The deep-fried turkey was the best ever.  It was moist and flavorful.  Of course there were numerous side dishes.
