A Day at the Lake is a Good Day, Even if it's Gray

Even when it's humid and gray
With thunderstorms on the way
Along with hail and a twister
Pray it won't be a disaster
Puppies know when to seek shelter
Sophie and I are in this together
Ace will never know what hit
The old boy will sleep through it
And yours truly some writing will do
While hoping tomorrow the skies will be blue.
Yeah, I'm no Frost or Sandburg.
All you can see of Sophie in the photo is her fluff-butt. She's hiding behind K's chair. We just go back from a walk. The air is so humid it needs to be wrung out before you breathe it.
But, hey, I'm not sitting in staff and committee meetings on the first teacher workday of the new school year, and that's a big plus.
What kind of a start is your week off to?

I hope that the hail and twister pass without causing any damages. Stay safe!
It's 11 PM here and I am mylotting from my bed. Ready to fall asleep any time. It was a good Monday, like a regular one.

@wolfgirl569 I know how they felt. The same thing happened to us when we were tent campers on at least two occasions.

Love your poem. Nothing much going on here. Will go out tomorrow for a doctor's appointment and dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Isn't retirement grand??? Enjoy your day.
