It’s that time of year when we get more thunderstorms. Weather patterns are more active, and storms thrive with the moisture and rapidly rising warm air that is very common during the transition to warmer seasons.

Stormy conditions also increase the potential for lightning to strike people at work or play outdoors and, possibly, while they’re inside a building. Although thunderstorms are more common during the spring and summer, they can take place all year long and at all hours.

Plowshares Farm invites the community to join in a prayerful walk through their farm on Sunday, April 22. “This is a simple and intentional celebration of our common home and our common destiny, stopping occasionally to stand in silent reverence of the life surrounding us, sharing dreams and visions of a better world, recommitting our lives to the creation of such a world,” says Bob Ernst. “As Earth once again passes through the vernal equinox and spring comes to life on the farm, we gather to celebrate our shared humanity.”
