The temperature has fluctuated in recent days, but still it's a lot warmer than it has been which I appreciate. Summer has finally come in and I can stop carrying my coat around. And now I'm sitting back with what to me is a rare but valued experience where I currently live: a heavy summer rain and a melodious thunderstorm. Nothing too excessive that would frighten anyone but the most timid of hearts. Just a comforting but strong pitter patter sound and occasional rumble. And the smell! Summer rain is the best smelling rain hands down. I have no idea why rain should differ in scent, but the summer drizzles do. Everything about the summer storm, it all just feels so fresh. Like a the world is being cleansed and brought back to simpler more relaxed state.

I love it I tell you.
