In the dark, I waited for a thunderstorm to arrive and break the humidity. The stifling air was still, hot and thick. The approaching storm rumbled\u00a0mightily in the distance. In the still gloom, I noticed the season’s \u00a0first lightning bug waft its way high into the trees.<\/p>\n
And then the rain came. At first, a distant rushing sound that drew closer. Then a downpour,\u00a0lashing wind,\u00a0\u00a0blinding flashes of lightning.\u00a0I stepped\u00a0back form the edge of the porch so I didn’t get soaked. It became cool.<\/p>\n
Summer has arrived. The blistering heat, the sweltering humidity.\u00a0\u00a0And cooling thunderstorms.<\/p>\n
Beautiful.<\/p>\n
