A Beautiful Day

This is the view out my window as I sit at the computer right now. I love tiger lilies. These were here when we moved into the farmhouse. A hummingbird frequents them, and I enjoy the sound of his wings.
We had a big thunderstorm yesterday that dumped over an inch of rain in less than a half hour. It was VERY humid the rest of the day, and then during the night we kept waking to the sound of thunder. Today, the sky is clear and the air is clean, and there is a strong breeze that gusts through the house, blowing papers around. I can hear Chuck's windchimes on the front porch.
