that time it stormed & we got no sleep

raise your hand if your scared of thunderstorms -- kodi & maggie raising both paws in the distance. i personally enjoy thunderstorms. they are oddly comforting. they are also reminders that mother earth can be unpredictable & extremely dangerous. another reminder that our God created such phenomenons & He's capable of anything.

we had some nasty storms the other night. storms that weren't predicted & even when we were checking the weather, it said it was "partly cloudy." umm, get your facts right weather man. around 1am kodi & maggie were frantic. kodi's running around the house trying to locate the tiniest corner to hide in, while maggie refuses to leave our side. it wasn't until three hours later did the thunder stop & we were finally able to get some sleep.
the next morning we ventured outside & sure enough the lake overflowed. both pups were really confused. maggie's favorite spot to sniff is the fire pit, but if you noticed it's totally submerged. she wasn't fond with that. kodi was over the moon though -- there's more water for her to play in; what's not to love about that? fortunately is only took a day to drain back to its normal size, but the yard it still super soggy & wet. waiting for mr. sun to come out & dry it up so we can play.

 my heart goes out to the families & residents of oklahoma. watching the news last night tore me up & i wept for those who lost loved ones. i'm praying throughout the day for peace & comfort to cover all those hurting where ever you are.
