Its been rather hot and muggy for the past week, but this afternoon the thunder clouds rolled in and we got some much needed rain. All of my gardens have been looking rather thirsty so the showers are much appreciated. I sat out on the back porch for a while (after running through the rain to shut some barn doors) and just enjoyed the sound of water hitting the sheet metal porch roof. Even the mist blowing in on the wind was nice.

I sat out on a lawn chair in the sprinkling rain under a maple tree...by a pond. It was really quite pleasant. We didn't have any thunder or lightening. I suppose if we had, I certainly would not have been sitting there!
ReplyDeleteI 'especially love the smell rain after a dry spell, you know, when first drops hit the dust and make those little poc marks. lovely.
ReplyDeleteSteven and I sat on the bench on our front porch and watched it pour. It was a very nice, refreshing rain.
ReplyDeleteI drove in it. Quite exciting. Blowing wind, hard rain and crashing thunder and lightening. Yup, quite exciting.

ReplyDeleteWe need rain so bad. Can you send some this way? Martha, is that you in the tub? You look like my friends daughter, Olivia.

ReplyDeleteWe didn't get much in the way of thunder and lightening but I did hear it rumbling off in the distance. I'd send you some rain, Kim, if we had any to spare.
ReplyDeletePerfect portrait. I can't begin to tell you how old our children's photos like this are but the oldest child is 51.
