Storms

We had a lightening storm the other night that was just lovely. It was not as big and loud as some of the recent ones but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.

I noticed it right before going to bed, I was on the computer, and I could see the lightening through the window but couldn't really hear it. I shut down the computer and turned off all the lights. I told J I was going to the porch to watch the storm for a few minutes.

I went outside and sat on our front porch. It wasn't raining but the air was thick with humidity and you could feel the rain building up in it. I sat there for a few minutes watching the show in the distance. I could only just barely hear it so I know it was far away. There were lightening bugs flying around and I wondered if they thought the lightening was talking to them...

What a great night! I love storms... it's especially nice if you have a porch that keeps you dry.
