I do enjoy my atmospheric phenomenon.

I commented yesterday that if you displaced me in time and plunked me back down right here, right now, and asked me what time of year it was, I would have said late October. It was gloomy and overcast, and it got dark early, but it was still warm and humid enough to want the air conditioning on. Today, a storm. Lightning just cracked right outside, there was literally no time between the flash and the noise, and the noise was HUGEMONGOUS. Cue all three kids bolting in here, quivering in horrified delight. And then the rain came pouring down.

I love thunderstorms. I love autumn.
