Oh that Spring gale,
she’s such a storyteller –
awakens the land
fiddles with expectations –
Welcome post-Winter trickster.

Have you had tornados? there have been a lot of them recently, though none right around here. Your painting captures the light perfectly. (K)

No tornadoes in our town, but nearby. We don’t usually have tornado season until August. So weird this year. Thank you, K

I know–they were saying tornados out of season, and lots of them. More climate strangeness.

She is in a good mood here today. I must find a way to placate her so she won’t throw a thunder tantrum.
