Storming
It’s been storming in California for days. Our backyard is flooded, but only temporarily. Our drainage system just needs time to catch up and shunt off all that water. In the front yard, the runoff is meandering down our quiet street, pooling awhile here and there.
The sun came out to dazzle us for a little while. It will rain again soon. But seeing the water sparkle makes it all worthwhile.

I'm a busy freelance editor and writer, wife to Ian, and mother to two precious boys. I am living each day to the fullest and with as much grace, creativity, and patience as I can muster.
