In my 80s

May 17, 2019

This morning is warm and wet. As of Wednesday noon, the forecast for Thursday, Friday and Saturday was sunny and clear.  Yesterday while in an Indy office I thought I could see the beginnings of a thunderstorm. Yes, the cell phone confirmed storms from 5 pm to 7 pm.

By 5:30 last evening we were duly stormed with lightning, thunder, wind and driving rain — more than an inch, enough to keep farmers of central Indiana out of fields for another week.

Our lawn and garden are lush, the nicest they’ve been since we were on the Irvington Garden Walk. But if a farmer were sitting here beside me, would his mind, fixed on wet acreage, be able to see our garden?

The weather this spring gives a vivid reminder that there is always another’s point of view.
