November 1st- A Reminder Who's Boss

Prompt: “The November wind has a sound different from any other, a low, dry whispering through the bare branches.”


CCan't believe today is the first of November. Where did the time go?? Anyone else find it rushing past in a blaze of glory the older you become??

Today has many weather shifts here in Australia. Waking to a fine morning but with severe weather event warnings from our trusty (scoff) weather bureau for the last few days. Today will be the day to batten down the hatches. From a dry wind blowing the trees in the back reserve to the sudden temperature drop and darkness filling the skies, they could be right.

That weather event has hit us for the first time now at 3.50pm, and judging by my little Rain Parrot app there is more on the way.

I love a good storm I have to say. I don't want damage to anyone or their property, and certainly not ours, but there is something about a good storm that zings through my veins and brings almost a calmness. The Mother Goddess is having a say, she is whipping about reminding us who really has the power in this universe of ours, and so she should. The wet pavements, the plants and trees bowing and dancing in delight from a good drenching does the soul good. And those that fall have been given their due date, a date we all have waiting ahead for us, whenever that may be.

We are not in control here. Mother nature, the universe, they hold all the cards, and we as humans are only guests in their world and it is good to be reminded.
