Is always sweeter when accompanied by the tympani of thunder.  Lava and I were sitting outside for a bit this evening, probably tempting fate, watching the flashes of lightening and listening to the rolls of thunder…that was of course until it started to rain.  Thunder storms are so rare in Ventura that I almost cherish them when they happen here.  It’s one of the things I love about Colorado.  However, if my house is ever destroyed by a tornado caused by one of these storms, I will probably be singing a different tune.  Until then (which hopefully never happens) happy first thunderstorm of the season!
