Wonderful evening with two rain showers, a few flashes of lightning, and distant rolls of thunder. The heady scent of summer rain: if i hadn't been back east and caught in downpours in Tampa, i would have found it even more magical.

Summer rain is so very very rare here, even when it's not a drought.

Reading the twitter hashtag on the GOP debate depressed me. Admittedly, my sense of cheer is at a distance due to some concerns that i am carrying.
