rain and pancakes

i'm so grateful that rainy season is here, with only 2 months to experience the joy of the Southern Hemisphere's approaching summer, i couldn't be more thrilled.
  the amazing thunderstorms that  Johannesburg can deliver, are right up there with with my love for fresh ciabatta bread, jacaranda trees in bloom, puppies and drinking wine with awesome people.  as with most of these mentioned loves it will be the one of the Jo'burg delights  i'll miss deeply once Spokane, Washington becomes my new home.
this is how a rainy thunder stricken day should look:
