Rainstorm Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

We've had more of our share of soaking rainstorms this Fall.   This awesome gleaming heart appeared just before a huge deluge.  I thought it perfect for this week's Guest Heart Thursday--and for Halloween--a holiday known not only for its costumes and spooky traditions--but a time of grave darkness (no pun intended), which will be pressed back by the light of the Creator.

Thunder Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Tuesday,  we were expecting thunderstorms all day long.  We didn't have thunderstorms, but I saw some mighty interesting "bubble" clouds.  It looked like the sky was boiling. 

Of course, you see all the upside down hearts--just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!

Stormy Sun Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

This untouched photo was caught over the back fence last Spring, as a storm was approaching.  We haven't had any rain since early July.  This weekend there is an ocean of storms aimed right at the Pacific Northwest, with wave after wave of precipitation anticipated.  By Tuesday, we will have had over two inches of rain!

I have enjoyed this Indian Summer more than ever.  We haven't had one in over four years.  I am an Oregonian and I love the rain.  You've heard the joke, I'm sure, that Oregonians don't tan...they rust?  Well, it is true.  But after four years of truly soggy weather--I have enjoyed the sun more than I dare say.

As the storms approach, my husband and I have been weatherproofing our home like mad.  We live in a historical home.  It is a LOT of hard work to keep it up.  But well worth the effort.  Let the rains come!!

Have a lovely day, everyone!
