One day this summer, a big storm was brewing.
Tornado warnings blared from the radio. The sky went all eerie colored. The wind whipped across the yard.
I drew some water because, by now, I know that this is the drill. I don't know if it is just living on a hill or living on OUR hill, but if there is a storm, our power WILL go out.
And it did.
Andrew and Corynn had to milk the cow by hand that night. The rest of us gathered every possible thing that could fly away or break. We gathered water from rainspouts for washing and flushing.
And candles and oil lamps.
Afterward, I fed them power-outage food for supper.
They didn't seem to mind.
And as we ate our supper, God gave us quite a show.
Look at that! Ineke dressed for the occasion!
And when the sky went black, a bit of rainbow lingered on my windowsill.
Wow! That was such a beautiful rainbow.
ReplyDeleteStunning.
ReplyDeleteWe lost power that night, too! Unfortunately, I was not prepared with delicious finger food. I had John bring home pizza, instead. Poor, poor us. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love these beautiful photos of sky-glory and Ineke underneath.
They stopped me in my tracks.
