I Think It Just Rained...

After a summer of relentless heat and virtually no rain for months, it has just ... rained. Only for about 10 minutes, but it rained! And there was lightning! But now as I glance out the window, just a few moments later, the sun is out again and that's the end of it.

Unfortunately any amount of rain at this point is "too little, too late." The leaves are dropping from the trees all over town - dead, crunchy brown leaves everywhere underfoot. It looks like we'll have very few colorful trees to enjoy in October. This is one summer that needs to be OVER!
