We are getting an lovely little rain right now.

And I am sitting here in the living room simply enjoying it.

The quiet of the house along with the sound of the rain brings back memories of being a child and living in Florida so many years ago.

During the summer it would be hot and humid and the clouds would build all day.

Finally, in the late afternoon we would get scattered thunderstorms that rumbled like a distant earthquake.

As I peck at my laptop, the only light in the house still on is the one above the kitchen sink.

Thunder is rumbling to the north of us, I can hear the rain softly falling on the roof, and all is right with the world.

I’m tired and ready for bed, but it’s just a nice moment right now.

I love you.
