Lightening, Lightening go away...

...don't come back another day!

When I was in college, a childhood friend of mine was struck by lightening and killed while reffing a Park District youth soccer game.  Ever since then, I could really do without major thunder and lightening storms such as what we've had this past week.  Storms like what we've been experiencing keep me up at night and are cause for tension and frustration.

Considering how badly we've needed rain lately though I really don't mind the recent rains and my flowers and grass certainly appreciate the water!  It's really just the deep, ground-trembling thunder and lightening that I could do without.  Of course I'd also prefer that the rain be more in the realm of slow and steady downfall instead of quick and sudden downpours that leave us with flash flood warnings but beggars can't be choosers I suppose!

This, I suppose, is a case where the grass really will be greener on the other side of these storms however I wish there was a more pleasant way to get there!
