Welcome Summer Rain

It's been a lovely, hot summer...

From time to time we've also had rain.

Earlier this week, after a warm night, I felt the heaviness of an impending thunderstorm early in the morning...

That doesn't happen too often.

I closed all the windows...

When the thunder and lightning moved away, the gardener in me welcomed the gentle rain... which not only cleared the air, but watered the grass and flowers.
