The Welcome Stranger, Rain.

There is nothing more satisfying than big fat steady raindrops pounding your home and land after weeks of hot dry drought weather. It is happening right now in Dunedin FL. I was outside about one hour ago, talking on the phone, after watering our wilting plants when I saw it- Lightning. However, this is sometimes a false prophet. Lightning visits our neighborhood often, but since we live only a few miles from the Gulf Coast, it travels through a lonely soul, with no rain to show for all it's fierce intensity. The rain here usually collects more inland, towards Tampa Bay and surrounding areas east of our area. We are grateful for it tonight, a sweet loud reprieve from the constant high and dry temps (upper 90's) and no relief.

So, what are you up to tonight old friends? What was your weekend like? Did you enjoy some favorite music, film, or book? Did you dig into some great food among loved ones? Did you take care of your family and/or friends? Did you take care of yourself?

Oh, someone is up--- the crazy thunder has gotten Nick up. Knowing him, he has fallen asleep behind his door, not in his bed. We check on him every single night around this time to make sure he is actually in his bed....
talk to you later friends!
