Topic of Choosing
After the great storm of last week, I took a walk outside to check out the effects of all that rain and wind. Yards were completely flooded, and abandoned bicycles lay in these new two feet deep lakes. Sticks and fallen branches littered the lawns of Newport News homeowners. My friend and I took delight at this easy access to new flammable fodder for our fire pit in his yard. As we walked, we picked up more and more branches in our arms and carried them along the road towards his house. Oh what a warm fire we will have once the branches dry out!
The road was papered in leaves from a variety of trees; maples, oaks, poplars, and heart-shaped red bud leaves. They are beautiful, before everyone steps on them, turning the path into a slimy mess. I kept slipping on the multi-colored leaf residue that began to simply look brown.
I wondered how the construction workers on campus feel about such stormy weather. Do they sit in their homes dreading the sight of all their hard work destroyed in a wet pile? I hope nothing got ruined. I especially hope that no mold got into the walls of our new buildings.
