Peace and Quiet

Ahhh....
The house is quiet and I am home alone. After a day of stressing on how to get everything done and feeling overwhelmed by the demands it felt so good to just relax with the patio door open to the beautiful sunshine. Then the dark clouds started rolling in. A quiet, still mood took over - not depressing, more calming, really. Then the first claps of thunder and the bright streaks of lightning. There really is something quite magical about the first spring thunderstorm. While it was so nice to be alone, I do wish Jeff was home with me. How wonderful it would have been to snuggle up on the couch in the dark watching nature's fireworks outside the large window. The rain came in a deluge but quickly let up. The thunder is in the distance and the peepers are now out in full force. Yes, such a magical night - just wish I could have shared it with my love. But I will use this time for reflection and just maybe when he gets home from work, we can still listen to the thunder in the distance and the peepers......
