Are your ready to rumble? I’m not talking about some WWE smackdown. I’m also not talking about any given minute with my boys. My favorite rumble is in the sky. Tonight a thunderstorm is predicted in Spokane skies.
Growing up in Ohio, summer showers are a regular occurrence. My cousin posted on Facebook the other day that it had rained 16 days straight in Ohio. Summers in Northern Arizona are hot until the afternoon when huge monsoon clouds would roll in, thunder cracked and rain poured from the sky and cool off the temperatures.
We missed the changing weather while we lived in Southern California. Southern California is fantastic for its consistent temperatures and we enjoyed the warmth while we were there.
Now living in the Inland Northwest, we have loved the cool weather on our arrival, rainstorms, and fantastic thunder and lightning storms. We’ve had our share of high heat too which I’m ready to turn off. They say Spokane only has two seasons, July and Winter, and we’re halfway through July. Tonight, with only a 30% chance of a storm, we are hopeful for some weather.
Yes, I have nothing else to post about other than the weather. Call it writer’s block if you will. It was just a day, nothing extraordinary, all straightforward, simple and true to form, for which, I am thankful. No additional broken bones, no calamities or crisis. I did submit my photo of Vince jumping into the Spokane River to the Spokane Valley Photo Contest. I also returned some items I bought online. I watered the grass (the sprinkler system is broken). Thunder and stormy skies are exciting.
With the first rumblings in the distance, I say goodnight.

Very. very envious of the rumblings up where you live, Nothing like a summer thunderstorm and shower. It is in the top three of things that I miss most about the east coast and midwest. Of course, the humidity that accompanies it…that is another story.
