Lazy Day

Rain, lightning and thunder
Rolling over the hills and lake
Today is the kind of day that
If you hadn't just slept all night
You could sleep all day

We have a great place to view thunderstorms and one is coming across the bay right now.  First it became as dark as night.  Then the wind shipped across and the more than 50 foot trees in our yard began swaying back and forth.  You would think that they would break with all that swaying.  It seems like they move more than 20 feet in each direction as the wind whips them around.  Finally, the rain comes in sheets and a river pours down our road.  Michigan thunderstorms can be brutal but they are a wonder to watch from the windows of our living room.
