Thunderstorms

At 12:40 in the morning, the rain and thunder woke me up, after I had only been asleep for an hour. It is pouring outside, and all I can think of is "God I hope my car windows are up." I see the lightning flash and slowly count on my hands "one...two...three...four...five...six...sev/BOOM." I have never been very good with thunderstorms. They make me feel unsafe. But for some reason, I feel pretty safe tonight. I have my new Pandora playlist for Mumford and Sons playing, and I had just finished painting a cute little cartoon of two elephants infront of the Colosseum in Rome for a friend of mine, and I can see Maui's (my cat) tail from underneath my bed. She is in hiding as well, I am assuming. The rain is so loud, it is over powering my music. Pretty crazy!

Thank God for all this rain though. Maryland sure does need it, after all we are "in a drought" and some counties are now on a water restraints. Well, in my opinion I think this week of rain will do it. I hope this just doesn't drown my cherry tomato plants! 

Those plants have gotten to be about 7 feet tall, and are starting to grow some tomatoes! I shall add pictures when its not down pouring outside, and I can go around to them. Mmm I can almost taste them in my mouth. Oh how I love cherry tomatoes!

Anywho... the count "one...two...three...fou/BOOM" Jees, its coming closer. I have a feeling this is going to be one sleepless night! 

Keep safe loveys.
