Last night, while chatting with Cana and trying to share my last post on facebook (yes, I'm a multitasker, I know, its amazing), the power went out. Its been a while since thats happened, and as I had a headache I decided just to go to bed [sorry for randomly leaving, cana!]. Last night, I went to sleep to flashing lighting and rolling thunder, which I quite enjoyed, and this morning I woke to a blizzard. How often does that happen?!
I love thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are exciting and put a bit of thrill in an average day. I've been enjoying the snow all winter and want it to stay because I love snowmobiling and snowboarding, but last night reminded me how much I miss the rain. More importantly, I miss puddle jumping. Theres a bit of childish excitement you get from putting on rainboots and jumping in a big puddle of muddy water. As kids, we used to walk along our rather long driveway and see how close we could get to overflowing our knee-high rubber boots. Sometimes we even would walk around our nasty leech-infested pond doing this. It often resulted in very wet children.
Thats one of the fun things about living next to a marsh, I guess. It also results in many adventures, such as traveling through the Swamp of Sadness with Atrayu, or through the Dead Marshes with Frodo, or Spools Swamp with Link. Naturally, we've outgrown those games (for the most part...), but they were great fun!
Snow and thunder. Only in Wisconsin...
ReplyDeleteI also remember having adventures in the marsh. I remember the time we made it through the Fire Swamp! We got really lost and almost died, but finally made it through. Such adventures!
Ahaahhh that's where you went! hahahaha
