rainy cool weather

It rained all day yesterday - a nice gentle rain that was almost like a mist at times. We've been getting crazy storms that have booming thunder and lots of lightening. Really scary stuff! The humidity is really high with those and so it doesn't seem very cool even though the sun isn't shining.  But yesterday it was cool ... really cool.  We didn't have the air con on all day - a first since we've moved here!  It reminded me of Portia's speech from the Merchant of Venice .. "The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth as a gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It was a great day to be reflective and consider all that God has done in our lives these last six months and all that he is continuing to do!
