just about 12 hours of rain

the rain finished up this morning a little before noon. all through the night it rained. i left the windows in my room open so i could hear it coming down. occasionally the wind would pick up and i could hear that too. there was thunder all night long. and even with my eyes closed, i could detect the brightness of the lightning flashes. needless to say, i stayed up most the night. just gazing out the window watching a seemingly never ending fall of water drops. pitter-patter. bang! flash. repeated at random.

it's been awfully hot and humid lately. the coolness of the night felt really nice. i just about went outside for a walk around the block to intentionally get soaked and be cooled down from the previous few days' heat. i enjoy the rain. can't wait until the next rainfall. cheers . . ..
