Thunderstorm Thursday

I got to wake up to one of my favorite 'alarm clocks'--a fully fledged thunderstorm!  It seems so rare that it actually thunderstorms in the morning.  It's marginally cooled down around here, which is good because now I can catch up on somethings that I've been putting off doing because it was too hot on the first floor.  Mainly, it's laundry that's behind, but going to the basement entails going through the first floor to get there which just hasn't been a pleasant experience the last few days.

For the first time in about 2 years our cookie jar has been empty for more than a few hours.  I haven't been able to bear the thought of turning the oven on.  Maybe today. 

Riley isn't appreciating the rain as much as I am.
