After nearly two weeks of unrelenting heat, we heard thunder last night. However that sound has been a part of the daily routine for the entire heat wave - often with a total absence of rain, occasionally with a drop or two, once with a sprinkle that did nothing but add to the humidity. Our lawn and gardens lay gasping, baking in the relentless heat and light.
But last night was different; the thunder rolled through gently and rain began to fall. And fall. And fall. This morning we found 1 3/4 inches in the rain gauge, temperatures in the low 70's, and a garden that seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Thank you, God, for lovely, renewing, restorative rain.
