Rain!

The rain arrived!  After I wrote yesterday's post, the rain began and continued off and on for hours, with lots of thunder and lightning adding spice to the afternoon.  And when I woke this morning it was raining again.  More storms are expected today.  This reminds me of visits here when our children were young, and they saw thunderstorms for the first time.  Once we let them play in the rain, and they ran barefoot through puddles, dripping wet.  Another time a storm in the middle of the night woke them.  So different from rain back home.

Yesterday I helped Claudia cook, knit several rows on a sock, talked with both of them, listened to music with Dad.  It's always fun to hear of Claudia's grandchildren in England, how some things are different than here.  For instance, there it's the father's responsibility to give the children baths.  The grandson is about 5, the little girl nearly 2.

Today more of the same, probably.  Watching birds in the yard, talking, maybe practicing some music I brought.
