Atmosphere

It rained steadily last night and continues to rain this morning.  I love the rain.  I look out the classroom windows to the north and see it is very dark.  The normally bright and colorful world I see each day is now no more than a dull, creepy haze of moisture.  It is very dark outside.  I love it.  It continues to rain and it gets darker by the hour.

I was home for lunch.  Thunder sounded across the sky and hail pelted the ground.  I saw a flash of light outside.  I love the storms.  They give me both peace and energy simultaneously.  Perhaps we will lose power at the school today, or at home.  It is that kind of weather that usually causes power outages.  What fun it would be, even for me in the computer lab classroom, totally dependent on the availability of power.

The wind blows the trees around carelessly outside.  I remember a few major storms I experienced as a young boy, and I consider them good memories.  I enjoy bad weather.  "Bad" weather... it is relative, obviously.
