after the storms

 It was a pleasant little rumbly storm, no big wind, a little lightening, enough thunder to concern the dog, but exactly the kind of storm I enjoy.

It was hot, so hot, so stuffy and humid here in the room at the desk. The air conditioner was turned off because we can't run the air and the washing machine in the basement at the same time. The internet is also on that circuit and I can't have that cutting out when I'm working.

 So the fresh breeze was welcome and then a little while later, as I waited on the phone for a guy to find some information, I noticed the light, the perfect after-storm light.

 After we hung up,  I ran outside and took these pictures.

Alicia sent this a little later a photo taken in her back yard, a shared love of strange light and clouds.

Sweet June.

Alicia?  I love you.

Love, Val
