We learn from each other. You have sensibilities that need to be expressed, that we need to hear, and that inspire me also to write and express what is in me. That's a gift.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-9548737579785491762008-04-04T10:13:00.000-04:002008-04-04T10:13:00.000-04:00Thank you for helping me with the poem.

Last Wednesday was terrible, so cold and windy. <BR/><BR/>I do love thunderstorms though and the winds that accompany them, they are just perfect, calling me to run out into the backyard.mystic rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125795139102746210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-82646950321514822422008-04-03T16:55:00.000-04:002008-04-03T16:55:00.000-04:00Sandy, I guess you have been affected.

They were dancing on the roof and we had to take off quickly. Our son (darn him and bless him) insisted on staying behind and with the help of a neighbor who had a water truck saved all the homes on our road.<BR/><BR/>We were within two weeks of having a wedding in our yard for a friend, and when we came back to the house, all was covered with ash inside and out because I had left a window open unknown to me at the time. <BR/><BR/>The fires last year were horrible but we weren't directly affected except for the thick smoke and ash around. <BR/><BR/>I could go on and on but that's enough, haha. You didn't ask for a book....<BR/><BR/>I never want to be in that situation again and in 2004 we sold the cabin because of the forest dying off due to fires and bark beetle..it was gloomy to me...<BR/><BR/>I miss it though.sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307968128182359860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-1141513651022580852008-04-03T06:20:00.000-04:002008-04-03T06:20:00.000-04:00Don, you do?

And yes, that little lamp is one of my favorites too.<BR/><BR/>I forgot you were from So Cal until your comment. Asked Don, he said yep. Even had to go back to your profile to be completely convinced. Don't know why I was picturing you in the northwest. Have you been affected by the fires at all where you are? I know from experience that no matter where you live down there you can smell them at least.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-25385736041836760922008-04-03T06:11:00.000-04:002008-04-03T06:11:00.000-04:00Thanks, Bob, have you ever been caught in a storm ...Thanks, Bob, have you ever been caught in a storm out with your stargazing camera?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-16976622548979716612008-04-02T21:19:00.000-04:002008-04-02T21:19:00.000-04:00I love when the storms roll through the farm.

I'm in awe of them and know how dangerous they can be. But they are a reminder that there is so much more than just ME out there, which I find comforting.Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.com
