⚡⚡Enjoyed the mini storm⚡⚡
Lights were turned off, popcorn was at the ready as we waited.
We weren't disappointed very much.
The wind picked up, the awesome rumbles were high above and so deep in sound as we continued to wait for the rest, all the while munching on our yummy popcorn.
The we recognised the lower level of thunder as a sign the lightening was about to arrive and - tah dah ... it arrived in spectacular force.
It was so beautiful as it lit up the whole sky with a beautiful light purple glow as the rain was pelting down.
But the icing on the cake was the freaky sized hail stones falling in every direction.
We looked like a couple of hillbillies sitting our our chair munching away and cheering as the mini storm hit with another lightening strike or a roll of the thunder or the evil hail stones banging against the windows 😄😄
We've both seen bigger and more ferocious storms from where have come from, but this was still a great one to sit back and enjoy, better than T.V.
I do hope that you are all safe, warm and dry.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
