BOOM! CRASH!!! RRRRUMBLLEE!!!
Then big flashes of light streaking across the sky.
A summer thunderstorm on Bloomfield Avenue.
It had been threatening to rain for the past two days. Gus and Trudy couldn't really plan to take any trips because they were very unsure about the weather. Trudy didn't want to take the chance of flying into a thunderstorm. Gus could understand that. He didn't like the lightening and the thunder made his house shake sometimes.
Gus and Trudy did enjoy a rainy day every now and then. If it was a light rain then they would run from mushroom to mushroom and splash in the puddles. If it was a big heavy downpour they would sit by the window and watch the rain water the garden. If it was a thunder and lightening storm they wold light a candle and tell stories until it had passed.
A day like today however was difficult. Sometimes it looked like the sun was trying to break out from behind the clouds. Sometimes the sky looked dark and angry and the wind started blowing like it would storm at any moment.
Gus and Trudy decided that today would be a "rest rest rest" day. The kind of day where they just lazed around the house. They could read or write. Bake cookies or sew. Whatever struck their fancy they could do. They had fun all day and at dinner time the thunder finally started. The rain began to fall.
"Perfect timing", said Gus," I love to hear the pitter patter of raindrops on he roof as I drift off to sleep."
