Gratitude ~ Day 17

in a dark house

i sit in the quiet,

listening to

wind and rain

deep breaths of sleep

and whispered fears –

“Daddy, I’m scared.”

i am thankful for

this house

and these three

who make it a

home

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday ~ Weather

Weather 1

As we headed home last Sunday morning, we anticipated a decent drive considering the bright blue skies overhead.  However, we quickly met darkness, freezing rain, and crazy road conditions.  But in true Michigan style, the weather continued to change throughout our entire drive south.  From foreboding clouds, hail and even slight accumulating snow, to intense sunshine and rainbows.  It was one of our strangest trips yet.
