Great night run. Bike path to Samoset to First Encounter Beach where I watched a killer lightning storm far away across the bay on the South Shore. Then it came for us. The air got cooler, and -- thunder. Time to get on home says I. Not quick enough! Some of the strikes were awful close-- thunder nearly instantaneous. Bright! The rain held off until the moment I stepped in the door, then a real downpour. Janacek string quartets playing on the CD. Beautiful. Everything is doused. The tomatoes look very happy. |
