Today, I was standing outside when there was suddenly a loud clasp of thunder, rain started to pour out of the sky, and a piece of hail bounced off the roof of my house and then struck me in the forehead!  OUCH!  Of course, being in Texas, the sun was shining the entire time.  Interestingly enough, the storm itself was over in 20 minutes.  As the sun set, the clouds in the sky glowed a deep red color.

This can only mean that October is quickly approaching and with it, our annual Horrorthon!  Horrorthon begins next Sunday and I can’t wait to celebrate everyone’s favorite time of the year with you all!
