The lull before a storm......



There is currently an amazing storm slowly coming in from the south. The heavens look as though they are going to open any second and there is an eerie glow about the trees. The birds have vacated the area and the wind is picking up at an incredible pace. I do love a good storm, all that power and forceful energy chasing through the sky. I enjoy sitting watching from my window, safe but close enough to experience the action. If you stand still in bare feet on the floor boards you can feel the vibration of the clouds clashing with each other. You can hear the wind change direction and whistle down through the trees, wrustling the leaves and making the big gums creak and grown. There is nothing more refreshing after a hot day than to open all of the windows and feel the cool air surging through the house from one side to the other. I suspect that Christmas Day is going to be wet if this is anything to go by.
