A Beautiful Day for a ....Tornado?

It was a gorgeous day
with low humidity,
 light breezes,
blue skies,
and white puffy clouds.
It looked like a perfect day for an outdoor graduation.


Blowin' in the Wind

But then, the blue skies and white puffy clouds disappeared
and were replaced with grey skies.
The winds kicked up.
A tornado watch was issued.


Diplomas at the Ready

We checked the weather reports 

which annoyingly kept changing their story. 

At 5pm the proceed as planned was issued. 

Eager Relatives 

Families arrived and packed the stands.


My Son Struts In 

The graduates marched in to the endless tune
of Pomp and Circumstance.


Creeping up From Behind... 

The clouds grew darker and
the flags blew harder as
selected students made their speeches.
Administrator's speeches were cut
in an effort to beat the storm.


Happy for the Diploma at Letter H

The class roll was read
as students received their diplomas.
Somewhere in the list of S names
a few raindrops began to fall.
Names were read faster
finally reaching letter Z.
Caps were thrown into the air and carried by the wind to faraway places.
And then...
mayhem!


Celebrating 

There was no formal recessional
as the skies were ominous,
winds were crazy wild
and the rain started to fall.
Everyone ran to the school building for cover.


Siblings 

This isn't how it was supposed to go down in the end.
But it was a fun time for the grads
and a ceremony they will never forget!


Future Engineers and Roommates at PSU

At least it wasn't a tornado!

Congrats to the Class of 2015 

"School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely"

Peppermint Twist

Peppermint Twist

Freezing rain is a winter weather staple here in Pennsylvania 

and it fell on us during my son's championship soccer game the other night. 

This umbrella belonged to the lady in front of me, 

I liked the lines and the backlight from the field lights,
and it kind of reminded me of a Peppermint Twist.
