Today began quietly. The day became more exciting as it progressed. At 7:30am I took Fred out. As I was standing there on the patio, I spied a strange looking cloud. The weather was very calm where I was and this cloud though big did not appear at first to be much. It was southeast of us and I think it was still over the marsh area. After a while I could not believe what I was seeing. It was a funnel cloud that was forming before my eyes. I kept thinking to myself…you are being very stupid standing here, but it was not moving fast at all. Finally, I came to my senses and said “GRAB YOUR CAMERA”. So in I ran thinking it will probably disappear before you get back. Of course, it took forever to find the stupid camera because I was not thinking very clearly. With camera in hand and hurrying quite a bit, I finally was outside. Much to my surprise the cloud was still there. After several pictures, I realized it would be a good idea if I called Dina. I was aware it was not coming in our direction. Therefore, I ran in and called her. She was able to see it while I was talking to her and it was breaking up. She seemed to think it was closer to Angie, so I told her it would not hurt to call them also. By the time I returned it was breaking up, but it still was eerie looking. Dina had told me they sometimes they reform in that type of cloud. Finally, it began raining and the cloud lost it’s dangerous appearance.
Well, I could have stayed watching all morning, but I had planned to see Harry Potter, Prisoner of Azalcan (sp’). So at 11:30, Challi arrived and we were off. It was a great visit with her. We both enjoyed the movie. We even went to Barnes and Noble and I got her a special book. I sure hope we can get together again before school starts.
Current Mood: happy
Current Music: none, just silence
