The rain pounding down on the roof . The strike of lighting followed by thunder which sounded like a loud bowling alley. The house shaking with the vibrations from the outside. All of this was covered in one night. A night that most people remember every year. The snow melting away, the temperature coming up from freezing, to average/cool. Where the clothes from the winter are pushed toward the back of your closet. Spring. The first day of spring and we have a thunderstorm. What a coincidence for us isn't it? Out of all the days that it could rain ( and it has) mother nature picks the first day of spring. O and wait we have another coincidence too. Spring falls on a Monday in 2011. A Monday is not the best day for people around the world. It means starting a new week and hating it all the while. So imagine ( unless you are already up) waking up on a Monday to a rainy start and then checking your calendar and seeing ' OoOooO hey, yeah it's the first day of spring.' Isn't it a joy. So for all the rain that pounded on my roof last night, and for the suckish day we are having so far today I just want to mention one thing, Happy Spring Everybody.
"Suckish"...interesting word. I like your conversational voice in this piece.
ReplyDeleteHaha, suckish. :) Thanks for this, Paityn, spring is my favorite season and I'm looking forward to some nicer weather moving in to welcome the new time of year! Yay! I like the voice in this piece, like Mrs. Reagles said, and I think you did a good job capturing how we all felt yesterday. :D
