Boom

Yesterday there was a haze in the air and vague clouds. Overnight they joined up and today was mostly cloudy, though the sun occasionally emerged and turned sections of slate clouds brilliantly white. With afternoon a wind arose and I went to the stores through a landscape of dancing trees. Now that I'm home and ready to write an entry, I'm hearing thunder and seeing flashes of lightning as the ground turns dark and shiny with fresh rain.

I'll have to be quick about it, as I don't want to leave the computer on during a thunderstorm, but I don't want to wait until later because I don't know how long the storm will last, and I have other things to do tonight. I doubt that the rain will amount to much, but one never knows. Maybe it will be sufficient to give the lawns a few more days of green. Anyway, I'm glad to see it, thunderstorm or not.
