Weather

I didn't know that a freight train would run through my back yard and pummel my house. I didn't know that my garbage can would tip over. I didn't know that the wind could be so fierce out here. Eastern Idaho, (which boasts about wild windstorms), has nothing on this barren desert plateau.

What I find interesting about the weather is how often I find my mood shaped by it. Yesterday when it was beautiful and sunny, we played at the park and I found my general mood to be uplifted. Today, we are shrouded in a foggy gloom, thunder and lightening frighten my children, wind is wildly waving the poor branches of the local trees and causing my television antenna to quit working. Today it is snowing again, or is it hail? It is both. Today I find my emotions shrouded in that same gloom that I find outside. Today is the day that I wish this good for nothing town had a respectable library, for I would love to curl up with a good book and disappear into it's depths.

Today I wish I was still in Idaho.
