Bundled up in a jacket, long scarf, and sherpa's cap during yesterday's thunderstorm and sat in the small loggia to enjoy it. Lit tea lights in four lanterns and lighted the incandescent lamp at the side entrance. The sheet lightning was spectacular, the heat thunder a percussion delight. The cicadas in the dragon tree began their choir practice at exactly 6:00 PM, meaning not only that the sun had set, though we could not see the sun, but also that the rainfall was coming to an end.
