thunderstorm!

Just had a tidy little thunderstorm sweep through -- it became dark and noisy and then the rain fell hard, tapered off, and now I can hear the cars wooshing through the wet streets. But I'm glad -- we needed the rain, especially my hostas. I can still hear the thunder, but the sun is back and the rain is gone. It only lasted about 15 minutes, a little more rain would have been nice.
