I never did end up walking today, although I planned to many times.
It was crazy record breaking hot
It’s the near-end of our first online school unit
I spent the day answering emailed questions
Scoring late work
And distance discussing our next set of plans
I sat on my deck at last, with the book I’ve been trying to finish, when the temperatures suddenly plunged and the skies began to darken.
The winds roared in with a sudden gush and the weather alarm blared from the kitchen
Any normal person might take this is a suggestion to go inside
I, of course, ran for my camera.
The calm before the storm?
The winds still,
The birds return
to sing and chirp and call
The sun sinks into puffs of glowing clouds
Will the fury
and some day the virus
drift away in the dusk?
Or come roaring back
to catch us unaware in the night?
Rambling ...
