Summer Thunderstorms

Don't you just love summer thunderstorms??? I do... I love to see the building thunder bumper rainclouds and watch the darkening sky. As the storm approaches the wind picks up, the lightening crackles and sizzles, and the trees start to wave and thrash about. Then the first raindrops fall with a big plop, plop, plop... and before you know it the downpour has started. I love to sit by the window and watch the rain come down in sheets... rejoicing that I won't have to get the water hose out and do my daily round of watering the flowers. Ahhh, summer thunderstorms, they come and go so quickly, occasionally leaving a rainbow behind, one of mother nature's creative masterpieces...
