W^2 or W squared for Wordless Wednesday, August 20, 2025
Monday afternoon was hot, humid, and still.
Then the atmosphere exploded, and the temperature dropped 15 degrees (9C), the wind picked up, lightning and thunder flashed and crashed, and the rain fell.
And it didn’t stop.
I was volunteering at Loaves and Fishes, and we decided due to lightning to close early. I think our clients new it was better to go home and try another day.
The storms came in two waves and by the time it was over, we had gotten 3.5 inches of rain at my house and some places around the area got up to 7 inches. One of our neighboring schools had to close Tuesday because their a few of their schools had been flooded.
Tuesday morning was our first day of school with kids this year and even though the skies were cloudy, it was a bright sunny day inside.
This could possibility be the best day ever!
(This could possibility be the best day ever,)
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be a million and six times better.
So make every minute count, jump up, jump in, and seize the day,
And let’s make sure that in every single possible way,
Today is gonna be a great day!
It’s Wednesday morning and we’re headed back for day 2 and building routines, remembering names, and spreading kindness. It’s going to be a great year, and the sun is going to shine today!
Today is going to be AMAZING. I know it and I can feel it, so I’d better jump up, jump in, and seize the day. Making the Days Count, one day at a time, making new friends, learning new names, and spreading kindness.
What’s new for you lately?
Now that’s dancing in the rain! Made me smile.
Thank you! No dancin’ just dashing out and loading cars quickly before it got really crazy and we decided to close for the evening. I know our clients understood and I hope they were able to make it in to get what they needed for the week ahead. thanks for stopping in. have a wonderful weekend, hope you get to spend it on the river.
Amazing, Clay! “It’s Wednesday morning and we’re headed back for day 2 and building routines, remembering names, and spreading kindness. ” I’m so grateful there are people like you in the world! Happy Wednesday!
Thank you Wynne there are a lot more like me who make a difference for kiddos and give them a reason to smile and learn. Already making inroads and sneaking science in when they aren’t looking. Have a wonderful weekend!
I love sky like that, if I have my camera and if I have nowhere to be. Glad you guys were all safe. That’s a LOT of rain at one time. We got a gentle rain all day yesterday which was perfect. We were so dry, having a soft rain and for such a long time was just what we needed. We don’t often get things to happen just right!
Storm clouds fascinate me. I thought I captured a time-lapse of the storm rolling through, but it didn’t take for some reason. I love a slow rain in the afternoon and sitting on the porch and listening to the pitter patter of rain on the roof. It soaks in and makes the vegetation lush. Thanks for stopping in and keep making your days count.
I love your “first day” photo, Clay! Cheers to you with good wishes for a great year for all in your orbit. Your attitude…”Today is going to be AMAZING” is….amazing!
Thank you Vicki! I looked up a couple of other first day photos for this week’s sign of the week. I used the phrase, make your days count almost a dozen years ago when I signed year books – then spun into the blog. Now, I sign all my personal e-mails Making the Days Count since 1961! Have a wonderful weekend!
Love it!
