I woke up to lightning and thunder, but no rain, though it had rained during the night. The thunder booms closer and it looks like we're in for some more rain in awhile, no complaints. The coolness is wonderful!
98L left the scene, then came back, called 99L. It's still out there losing and gaining both strength and latitude. Forecasts give it a chance, so it is good to keep an eye on it, even so far away.
While writing this, there was some bizarre and beautiful morning light, now covered in grey. Off to the south east are clouds filled with lightning flashes, but I'm not skilled enough to capture them.

This is the current radar view. The movement is from the southeast to the northwest. I think we're in line (but I've been fooled often before!)

Oh my!! We certainly did get some rain, waves of hard rain, along with lightning and thunder. A couple of thunderclaps strong enough to shake the air and the walls and the world. It was the beautiful excitement of a storm that holds no destruction in itself.
But just as I started cooking a good rainy day stew, the rain stopped and the sky has started clearing. I was all settled in to not go to the cart and I may not go anyway...no doubt Lake Island Woman has swamped the street and ground under the cart and will take a while to drain off. Yes, that's a good excuse! And it might go to lightning again, yes it might!
In the grey, soft light, every color is vividly bright, each blade of grass, each leaf, each bloom seems almost to glow from a new infusion of clean, lovely rain. Amazing stuff, sky water.
Oh...and it's slightly raining again...guess I'll keep on cooking...and reading...and put on another pot of tea.

"It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightenin'
Think I'm gonna knock, knock, knock on wood"
Was that it? Are we showing our age again?
Mine was Eddie Floyd, I'll be polite and assume
yours is Amii Stewart..

I'd never even heard of Amii Stewart 'the objects in this mirror are older than they appear' 
Oh, there ARE blankies...and sweaters jackets and heaters...and I even have a pair of sneakers up there, man that was so schmart of me to overpack so I had to leave them the last time!
But at that time of year it should be close to perfect weather. Maybe the deer and bears will even have left us some berries...
It's softly raining again, just in time to cool off the slightly steamy heat of the middle part of day after the earlier rains.
