I miss the experience, but not the tornados!

Hopefully more therapeutic than housecleaning anyway. If I had to do that 5-6 hours a day . . .well, this is a beautiful post and we won't go there. It's true though that women often do put their grieving energy into mounds and mounds of goodness! So many women to admire. Justine, where was your childhood? I miss those mountains, that's where my childhood was spent. And when it rains in those mountains the smell is wonderful too. Seems like during our camping trips each summer we'd always have at least one big rain (nothing like the big rains in Virginia, but big for Utah) and it would wake up all the fragrance of the trees and the earth.

My parents and I would sit on our porch swing and watch the storm roll through. It was wonderful. It smelled wonderful, it brought buckets and buckets of water to our yard. I miss those downpours. They just don't happen here. Maybe it's the mountains. I remember torrential downpours from my childhood. My parents and I would sit on our porch swing and watch the storm roll through.
