After several weeks of stifling heat and sticky humidity that dampens your skin within minutes of being outside...it's finally raining. For a few days, it seemed like everyone was going about life as half-baked zombies. People lost their enthusiasm, moods shifted, and everyone moved slowly-like lions on the savannah searching for shady shelter. But the rain is acting as a sort of calming agent. Everything is quieter and I can tell that people are soaking it up, observing it, and sweetly welcoming it. 

It's strange how weather ties people together. Someone countries away can be feeling the effects of the same storm force or the same heat wave. Someone twenty states over may be experiencing the sort of weather that your area needs, and you know that they're looking at your state on the map and thinking about what it would be like to be where you are. Someone in your city may be walking in the same rainstorm or underneath the same shining sun. It's nice to think that weather is something that we all share. We all use the Earth. It's nice to embrace what it gives back to us.

I can't wait to share the glorious weather of autumn with all of you.
