About a week ago the rice began to appear in the fields.
A sign that summer is almost at an end here.
Which would be really great because it’s done nothing but rain non-stop for the past week.
We had a really big storm slowly roll over us a couple of nights ago.
Big booming thunder & sharp cracks of lightning – right on top of us for a good hour or so.
It’s been so long since Maggie’s heard a thunderstorm that it really started to scare her.
We just don’t get big, loud roaring storms here at Humphreys.
So when a huge clap of thunder woke me up about 4am I looked around for Moo-Moo.
“No Mom…don’t tell ‘em….it’s too embarrassing!”
I found her out on the couch on the top landing…visibly shaking.
Terrified of the storm.
Which is going to be a problem if we ever get back to Texas.
I know not to comfort her when she’s scared – it only reinforces that she should be scared.
So I sat on the couch next to her & tried to remind her that she was born in Oklahoma in the Spring.
