    • I love watching a good storm roll in but I have never fully subscribed to the “go try and spot the tornado” mentality. I have too much respect for those storms to want to watch that happen in real time. I’ll settle for seeing that through my cameras.
      Right before a thunderstorm starts though and the wind is picking up. That’s ideal to stand in the middle of.

      • I have been known…a time or 2…to go chasing. But generally, I stick to the porch with an unobstructed path to shelter at my back. Been in the tornado belt too long to not respect them. In this case, it chased us. First we knew was the sound of what seemed to be an airplane through the living room, followed by huge crashes. When I say we had a tree all over our yard, parts were in the front, parts along the side & part was in back. Big house, lots of ground to cover. We were very lucky. Thank you for stopping by

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Storm watching huh? I can’t remember the last time I did that. lol. Excellent write my friend, glad you’re ok, nature does know how to put on a show. Appreciate you.

      • It was a wild time. Crazy intense. Enough so that my 35 yr old daughter came downstairs looking for her mommy. Some people still have no power. I love storm watching. This was bigger than that. We were super lucky, my friend

    • Tremendous work. Vivid and sharp.

    • We get the occasional blizzard too. Though nothing like you northerners get. Mostly we get icicles on our ass, & wild thunderstorms. They’re speculating we caught the trailing edge of a tornado this time. Lucky, we were very lucky. Thanks girl

    • Grandma knew exactly what to do with us. 6 of us & she never lost her temper. Good memories…Thank you, girl

    • hello beautiful Willow this was a twist I didn’t know where you were going it’s very clever and relateable I had to clean my dad’s grandfather clock when naughty 💕

      • I hated getting in trouble. It was usually my cousin & her brother. She was ornery as hell too, would try to hug him when he was so pissed. Grandma had to leave the room to hide her giggles. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • Brilliantly penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Amazing storytelling my friend, I can relate. Not that I got in trouble a lot, but when I did, not a fun time by any means of the imagination. Excellent work, as always. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Always seemed like disappointing grandma was worse than the punishment itself. So I did my level best to not get in trouble much. Not with grandma, at any rate. 😂 Thank you, my friend

    • I love “old timey” pieces. It brings back the good ol days, even if we didn’t know that they were, then. I would’ve preferred the chair over the usual ass whuppin.
      But eh, I survived.
      It’s always interesting to me how others lived and dealt with their own upbringings. This was a wonderful story indeed. I raised my kids on “time out” instead of spankings, as your story reflects. It’s a better choice.
      Very entertaining write, Willow. Bravo.

      • Don’t get too cozy in the “old timey” corner. I’m all over the map these days. Who knows where it will take me next?

        Yeah, my girl was raised on time out too. Little rascal knew exactly when she was about to land there too. Look me right in the eye & say “I go to time out now?” Good kid…that girl gave me side aches holding in the laughter.

        Thank you for the visit. Good to see you roaming the new halls

    • It’s good to see YOU here, too.

    • hello beautiful Willow there are no answers sometimes for these kind of questions and if you got a response it’s not likely going to be one you like heartfelt and deep write🌹

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Amazing lyrics, really loved the musical style and arrangement my friend. Love the bass and drums starting the second verse for those first bars, before the guitar comes in on the last bars. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Thank you! On pieces this close to my emotions, I always know when it feels right because I get goosebumps & cry. I appreciate your comment on this one, my friend

    • Powerful and sad. I felt this one. Great writing.

    • I was so angry when I wrote it, & so sad. Hopefully I was able to convey that even a little. She’ll never admit her part. It is what it is. Thank you, girl

    • Brilliantly penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! So much truth in this write my friend. There are multiple sources to learn from, and everybody has something new they can learn. Kindred spirts, I connect with this. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • This one goes back to 2016. Had to dust her off & bring her into daylight again. The problem with learning from only one source is the bias that becomes inherent in it. Probably why this world is in such bad shape now. Everyone believes their way is the only way. And the users take full advantage of that. Thank you, my friend

    • hello beautiful Willow I think in a large part you have a loving and tender heart and some people don’t we encounter them and sometimes deeply resent these people but I am like you thinking there is a lesson in even that…it’s just not always easy to see… you are emotionally gorgeous and people who don’t get are too young to great write 💕

      • I don’t think we truly grown without all those lessons. Some of the lessons suck stinky eggs, but we still learn. Thank you, beautiful 🧡

    • I think, in one way or another, that most have some important qualities. Well done. .

    • Powerful work. Tremendous

    • I hate the thought of just how selfish and unempathetic people have become. We should all stay humble and never look down on others.

      Great ink

      • I think it’s human nature to fall in with the masses. Just some of us can’t unsee…& seeing makes it all that much harder to swallow the kool-aid. Thank you 😊

    • Girl, you don’t even know how much strength I’ve gained just in knowing you. Thank you, my fellow warrior!

    • Bravo, hun, bravo!!!

      Luvin this!!!
