On August 26th, the day of Hurricane Irene, I took Kahlua for a walk on the beach to check out the waves and watch some friends surf in that madness. They were giddy like kids on Christmas, but having been completely knocked around the day before, I had no intentions of joining them in the water. That night turned out to be a memorable one for me, so I especially love this photo. What has developed since then has been a refreshing break from the usual.
Yesterday, before the storm rolled in, Charleston was gorgeous. I took Kahlua for a walk on the beach with a friend and her dog, and right when we turned around for the second half of the walk, we started seeing lightening. As the storm clouds started to roll in and hide the sun, it was really pretty. We made it back to her car just in time, and then the insane downpour started. Lightening was striking everywhere, and apparently there was hail. I love a nice afternoon thunderstorm.
Today, though, it has been dreary and rainy since I woke up. There were errands I wanted to run, and I was supposed to go out downtown tonight, but instead I decided I’d rather just stay in all day and night. Tomorrow should be beautiful, so I’d like to go to the beach again.
