february's end. . .

This morning, thunder shook the house.. .. ..

I heard the rain in the night, Luke said at the breakfast table.

I heard it too. . .Great lightning flashes. Thundery growls. All night long. Crazy weather for February.

This morning I was sure that Spring was on it's way. Rain announcing that winter's rein was over. Plans for buds and blooms on her agenda.

And now, I see the fat flakes of snow flying outside my kitchen window. Bright white against the brown trees in the backyard. . .
