The first time I noticed the weather I was amazed and perplexed to learn that the weather does its own thing, like snowing in one state or place and not the other, or freezing rain called hail blanketing the ground like a cover. Then I discovered that it was raining on one side of the street as the sun hovered over the other. I’ve seen it hot in the winter and cold in the summer; I’ve seen droughts, floods, tornadoes and thunder. Then, lightning strikes that lit up the nights.
