Lingering


At last a thundershower instead of a blistering, lightning-charged thunderstorm. A frightfully hot and humid afternoon gave way to a breezy, drizzling early evening. A true pleasure. The back porch was awash in freshness rather than the blast-oven it usually is. The storms rolled in slowly, taking its' sweet time to wet the ground. Of course, the light rain eventually turned into quite a soaking, but I enjoyed lingering with the rain. Relishing the smells and sights of my own backyard.
