Blessed storm

A huge thunderstorm swept over us today in the afternoon. After it passed the weather has remained at steady 20 degrees and everything is fresh again.

We had a nice front row seats watching the storm front approach from the south-west. It had been a cloudy day, yet the temperature climbed above 30 again at noon. A couple of hours later the sky was getting dark. The thermometer was up to 35 degrees. The air was still.

We could see the storm coming from afar. The sky was lit by the lightning and the wind was blowing the rain sideways. When the front hit us the temperature fell 15 degrees in an instant. The rain was pouring on us, but we didn't care. We welcomed it with open arms.

The heat will surely come back tomorrow. But hopefully it won't climb above 30 degrees again. Sunny, 25 degrees would be perfect.
