Today I was informed that I use the word swoon quite a bit. And you know what, that is probably true. It is probably true because quite a few things make me swoon. and I enjoy those things immensely. Well, when I told this person that, they asked me what exactly the word swoon meant and so I told them. and now, I am telling you.

rain

I am not really sure if I have anything to say but the thunder and rain have been going constantly for hours and even though I have been in the basement until a few minutes ago, they have been keeping me awake so I thought I would tell you of my adventure in the rain this afternoon. I was friends with the rain then because: A) I was not trying to sleep, B) it was warm and sunny but also pouring rain C) I got to leave the chair that was holding me hostage for a hair cut and dance in it with some neighbors. It was great fun being soaking wet with my sister, Faith, and some great friends. This weather has been crazy, 110 degrees one day and storming the next, and holy cow did we have a great sun set the other night! In one direction the sky was green and cloudy, turn 90 degrees and you've got hot pink and the brightest blue I've ever seen, turn again and you've got a pale, but equally stunning, blue with orange and red clouds. And the final turn shifted to a purple-gray color. It was enchanting.
