Gray skies loom teasingly with appearances of rain. Barricading the Sun’s rays behind clouds the day stays cool. Windows open inviting the steady breezes in. The air is heavy with humidity and the possibility of storms. Last night’s weather radar was lit up in reds and yellows and dotted with tornados. Tonight promises more of the same. Our storm cellar is cleaned up and ready for the season. Chairs and candles and towels are waiting for our mad dash down the steps in the rain. I must remember an umbrella in case the roof leaks, and a lighter for the candles in case the lights go out. It is that time of year again. |

Hah! Would love to observe the preparation getting ready for the storm cellar. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

It would be anticlimactic (unless there is a snake in the cellar).  ~L |

Usually, snakes of the "Garter variety" enjoyed root cellars and gardens I have known. Rat snakes, too. ...just bein' Bluesy |

One year just a snake's tail stuck out of the corner. It was stuck and eventually died.  ~L |
