Sunset, San Jose

We're on our way home from the airport, having picked up ExtraDays! So happy to have a long stretch of time together this week. We ran through a gamut of weather on the short trip over the hill---95 degrees, massive thunder, and a quick fierce shower. The rain smelled like back East--fresh and bright, scented with wet sidewalk, hot asphalt and a breath of metallic ozone. Summer rain definitely does not smell the same as winter rain, so that was a treat for me, triggering memories of screen porches and the sweet smell of lawns.
