Yom Shishi rain and sun

This storm rolled through while I was walking downtown to buy flowers.  I did have my raincoat with me, and put it on.  There was thunder and a cold rain for 15-20 minutes.  The rain and wind transformed a lot of umbrellas into giant bowls on sticks.  Ahh, wind.  It drove the street flower vendor off the street corner (somewhere?), so I bought red carnations from a vendor inside the bus station.

But the sky is blue now, and my windows are open.  Now it's time to get ready for shabbat.  Shabbat shalom (שבת שלום).
