boom

One of the things we thought we'd miss by moving up here: thunderstorms. Well, I guess not. Maybe just the really violent ones that fried the hot tub controls or hobbitt's computer. Right now it's raining steadily and gently, but a few moments ago we heard that beloved *crack* and *boom*. If hobbitt hadn't been working we'd have taken drinks out to the front porch and "listened at the storm."

We have neighbors coming over tonight for a light meal and some dominoes or something. They're bringing grilled teriyaki chicken. I'm roasting potatoes with garlic and rosemary and I made that broccoli slaw salad that pdhski likes so much. Low-key, relaxed, that sort of thing. I should probably be doing something right now like, oh, I don't know - straightening up or something. Instead I'm sitting here being content, with RadioParadise in the background, just listening at the rain.

I'm looking forward to having a moment or two to sit down and relax as I listen to the summer rains wash down. Soon.

there is nothing quite as soothing as a good storm. Summer in Texas can produce some doozies. but we are in a dry patch.

enjoy your evening, and send me that slaw recipe. I have been wanting to try broccoli slaw for a while now.

thanks.

it rained here today in Arlington but like all of the weather in MA it's gone in about 10 minutes. I remember the rainstorms in Florida that could last for days. :)

Hugs, Zissy

I would like the recipe too - if you don't mind sharing? I make a wonderful broccoli salad that everyone loves and requests - except my husband. So my recipe is in need of some tweaking.
