Weather!

When one listens to T.V. or Radio as to what the weather is going to be like, seems like it never happens! Either these "experts" don't have a clue about weather or are just guessing! Goes to show who really takes care of the weather and everything else in the world! Whether WE like it or not!!! I was surprised when it turned so cold in the night last night! It was supposed to be a "beautiful weekend, temps. possibly in the low 80's." Imagine my surprise when I got up this morning at 8:30 and was freezing! In fact, that is what probably woke me up! My feet felt like icicles! I did my few morning chores, like bathroom and morning prayers and got my breakfast, Bob called and I told him about being so cold. He said it was nice and warm in So. Cal. I looked at my little thermometer and at that time, about 9:30, it was 69 degrees here! I went to my front door and looked out and it had been "showering" I guess. The ground was wet and it was cloudy all over. I just looked up our weather on the computer and it is still pretty cool, in the low 70's. I'm not complaining because I think that I am getting an answer to the prayer I have been saying that we would get rain and lots of it to get this part of the state out of the drought it has been in! I hope this is just one of many showery days we have. Rain doesn't bother me at all. I love it! When it rains my arthritis slows down, and I begin to feel vigorated. When I was younger, I used to love to walk in the rain. Not in a cloudburst, mind you, but a gentle rain. Everything smells so fresh and new. I remember when I went to Hawaii several years ago and we had a sudden downpour. The rain felt like you were in a warm bathroom shower! I just let it pour on me and in about 10 minutes after it had stopped, a warm wind came up and I was dry again in a just a few minutes! I don't like dark dreary days, when we have what they call a high fog! I feel as though I am all alone in the world! And fog itself is very bad for my "Arthur"! Wind, now that's something I really don't like! I get so nervous and cross when it gets windy! I don't realize it until I start to think "What's the matter with me?" When I was young and we lived in the big 10 room house that I told you about before, the wind would come up and that old house would actually weave in the wind!! Maybe that's when I first got this "hate" thing. One night it blew so hard that it broke the window in the room where my brothers were sleeping! Our bedrooms were upstairs and I remember Mother and Dad telling us to stay in bed and not to try to go into the boy's room because there was broken glass all over! Then sometimes when we had heavy winds we had dust storms! One could hardly breathe and the dust settled on everything! Well, we take what we get and God has his reasons for making the weather "sometimes good and sometimes bad!" At least so far we haven't been struck with very many tornadoes! Or hurricanes! See ya later!
