About Seasonal
A summer storm arrives fast — the sky turns that deep bruised green, the air goes thick and still, and then the first fat drops hit the hot pavement. Thunder rolls across the hills in long, slow waves while lightning writes itself across the clouds in an instant. When it passes, the world smells new again, puddles mirror the sky, and if the angle is right, a rainbow arches from one treeline to the other.
