I’m starting to miss storm season.  You know the kind that bring tornadoes, lots of rain…and hail just as long as my car is inside the garage.  The kind of weather you can feel.  That humid feeling  when you know the weather is going to be bad, but get all 9 kinds of excited inside.  This is why I love Okie Land…the weather.

The hot summery days where the grass is green, it’s warm outside and you can see the rain in the distance.  These are the storms I miss right now, but they’ll be back in a little over a month and I’ll be happy once more.

Even the rug-rats love the stormy weather.  They’d sit at the front door and watch it roll through if I’d let them, but typically I’m afraid of hail busting out my front glass and windows, so we stay in the living room glued to Gary.  All of you Okies will know who I’m talking about, but for those who have no idea, it’s Gary England — one of the Top meteorologists (at least that’s what I think).

See what I mean…moments before the hail starts…Norman winds up with some amazing looking clouds.  How could you not get excited about this??  …maybe I should just take up storm chasing instead of a Bachelors in Management Information Systems?!  Nahhhhh….

Oklahoma is cold.  Not as cold as it tends to be around this kind of year, but it’s getting there…

…and because I love my Nike Tempo shorts too much, I’ve opted in wearing dance leggings (yes, I just said dance; as in ballet and the Nutcracker).  I did  take dance lessons once upon a time….

The other day I had to make an early morning trip somewhere and while I was patiently waiting in the parking lot I took a look at the sky & saw this.  Beaut-iful, isn’t it?  Oh I just looooove mornings like this.  Although, for now, I love my sleep just a little too much, so I’ll settle for looking at the sky  at dusk when the pretty neon colors decide to come out.

So this is what the sun looks like when it comes up.  Great to know I caught a glimpse of it before summer officially ended and fall began.

I must say, with all of this heat.  Seeing the sun go down not only brings great joy to my state, but it’s pretty dang awesome to see the colors our sky has.  Pinks, Oranges and Blue.  I just love the mix of colors, don’t you?
