The first day of fall 2025 opened with fog and closed with a thunderstorm so severe it shook my ridgetop home.
We suffered through relentless rain for the first half of the year before everything dried up and drought took hold again. Last night, though, was wonderful. Relentless rain, thunder and bright streaks of lightning kept me looking out the window. It was a nice night to read a mystery and to drift off to sleep with the rhythm of the rain on the window.
There’s just something about fog and rain that make the world seem a little more mysterious and more enjoyable. I don’t know what it is but I’ll enjoy it all while it lasts!
I once read the line “some folks feel the rain and others just get wet.” Whatever you do, please try to enjoy it!
Love the quote!
Me too!!
It seems plenty of people experienced thunderstorms in the last day or two. We had one just at bedtime last night. Got 0.4” of rain and one thunderclap so loud I nearly levitated! All over in 30 minutes or so, but Hunter spent the entire night under my bed!
Wishing you a grand fall full of all good things!
And you as well!! 🍂🍁
I’m such a fan of thunderstorms, assuming the power doesn’t go out. Sounds like a good way to enter into the fall season.
Me too. I also enjoy a nice steady rain on a gloomy day.
