Waiting for Rain

I love the sound of thunder in the mountains.  It's the signal that rain is on it's way, of course.  This June has been very hot.  The other day I heard the thunder coming and I just sat on the steps and watched.  You can't see it coming as I could in my home state, Florida.  You can feel it. The wind shifts ( a very Mary Poppins thing), the leaves show their undersides and it smell like the mountains.
