Cleansing Rain

---

All through yesterday and last night we had thunderstorms. I walked to the mailbox this morning feeling a sense that the earth had been cleansed. The air was still full of moisture and exuded a fragrance of freshness.

The "blooming hedges" have been stripped of their blossoms. Yeaa!!! For a few days I will be able to inhale deeply. Maybe we will have a thunderstorm come through when the shrubs are in full bloom again.
