We have reached the muggy stage of summer with long hot days, high humidity, and a daily chance of afternoon thunderstorms. I’m a big fan of thunderstorms. I very much enjoy sitting on the back deck, watching a good storm build, and then rolling through. The natural phenomena of lightning and thunder is a breath-taking
It was a night last week where we had a little rain. It was gloomy, and one of those nights that just felt cozy. I was making Chicken Carbonara for dinner, and garlic bread was baking in the oven. I was relaxed, and in my happy place. My kitchen. My daughter, Kenzy, walked out and
