A brief but intense rain woke us last night. The sound was disorienting. Was it wind? Was it hail? I think a large portion of a water-laden cloud simply fell from the sky all at once. Weather. What can you do? It’s a force of nature that you can’t control. All that can be done is to lie there and marvel at its power and unpredictability, and go back to sleep. (1/2)

We saw signs of the rainfall during our walk. The stairway path we walk up was thrashed (sorry, no picture). The air had that wonderful scent, and the light sprinkles mixed with sunshine were pleasant.

Right now, at home, the coffee tastes good.
