From Windy to Rainy -- Just another day in the Ozarks

Yesterday was windy. 
Today will be rainy.
There will be thunderstorms -- some of them severe.

I had hoped to go to the day baseball game today. The start time has been pushed back an hour, but I suspect the game may be postponed for another day. Either way -- I'll pass.
It is already raining lightly and there is thunder rumbling in the distance. The weather radar looks like this is going to be an all day rain as this system moves from southwest to northeast.


Springtime in the Ozarks of SWMO.

I have books. I can watch TV. And if the wind isn't blowing rain onto the deck, I can enjoy a cigar. 
Both the rain and the thunder are intensifying as I type, but coffee on the deck while it's raining is a fine way to begin the day.

 I am learning to be content with circumstances that would have once troubled me. A rainy day can be dark and depressing. Or it can be just a day when the storm rages outside and I appreciate the safe, dry home we have.

I hope your Tuesday finds you safe, dry, and appreciative of living life on this day.

John
