Amazing Storm

Rainbow out the front window last night as the storm arrived. You can see the rain on the window. Shortly afterwards the storm hit in full force: rain, hail, thunder, lightning. Absolutely amazing. Then the rainbow appeared again ~ so we were blessed twice with a wonderful storm in the middle (which I think of as a blessing too). I sat on the window seat and watched and listened and breathed.
This morning the air is so fresh you can smell it. It is clean and clear and chilly and smells of wet pines. Reminds me of sleeping on the porch of my aunt's cabin in North Carolina when I was a child.
Lovely, lovely morning ~ it will be a good day ~ and summer will return. I'm not ready for fall yet. For a brief break, however, it is Delightful!
