On the Porch

Last night a thunderstorm developed while we were eating dinner, so afterwards the four of us sat on our tiny back deck watching the lightning and listening to the pouring rain. It was so lovely to share the joy of the rain (finally!) and beauty of the sky together. Moments like that linger in the memory.

Today I keep singing to myself:

Out on the patio we'd sit
And the humidity we'd breathe
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields
Laugh and think, this is Australia.
