Well the storm came a rollin in late on Monday. Wind, rain, even a little hail and lots of close in lighting...you know the kind, lights up the sky and rattles the house with thunder that arrives instantaneously. The boys were in the other room and my wife and I were in ours when suddenly a bolt of lightning may the power surge, dousing the lights and shutting up the boys' video and although the power was right back on...the boys were in our room with tears flowing down faces filled with fear.
So it was that we made room for four on the Queen bed and let the boys settle in while the storm passed before moving the sleepy heads back to their own beds for the night. In the morning we accessed the damage. One tomato plant in the garden got toppled in its cage but didn't break so it went right back up with the cage and is fine. The top of the boys' sandbox got blown off so the pristine white sand is now pristine white mud (and the boys love it although it does get all over their arms, legs, and faces!)
Thank God for keeping us from harm last night.
