Predictions

Yesterday Nora Lee and I spent the afternoon in a friend's pool. It was beautiful and sunny and absolutely perfect weather. When we went in to change our clothes Nora Lee kept going to the window and very dramatically saying, "A Storm is coming! A Storm is coming! Close the windows, close the doors!" We all thought it was a fun game since it's the middle of July and the weather was gorgeous.

After leaving our friends we went to a BBQ for a late afternoon party. About an hour into the party, it started to rain and rain hard -from out of NOWHERE! For those of you in Florida, this is no big deal, happens all the time. But in southern California in July it does not just go from blue sky and full sun one moment to big heavy raindrops the next. It rained for about a half hour and then was done. It was unexpected and so fun! Although it was a surprise (to everyone but Nora Lee) it made the air feel warm and wet and clean. Lovely.
