Summer Storm


A severe wind blew across the yard, sending the treetops to swaying.  The wind chime hanging from the eaves danced and jangled.  On the deck, the open patio umbrella lifted up threatening to fly away.

“Help me get this down.”  Lisa shouted to her husband Tom.

He stepped out onto the deck to lead her a hand.  They folded the umbrella down and wrestled it out its stand laying it down next to the house.  Chair cushions were removed and placed in the storage chest.

Together, they dashed inside laughing just before the first raindrops fell from the dark sky.
