Wednesday was one of those gray days, sprinkling off and on, cool but not cold, delightfully fresh. By noon, about 1/2 inch of rain had fallen, which after the 4 inches last week. The grass is green, flowers are blooming. It was lovely out.
About 5:30, however, it began to get darker and darker. We noticed thunder and lightning, and suddenly the rain came down. And down. And down. And the hail came down, and down, and down. And more rain came down. In 45 minutes we had another 1 1/2 inches of rain . . . a total of 6" in less than a week.
The hail turned the deck white.
The river in the back yard was as big as we have ever seen it.
Where was this moisture last year? Hoping for just the right amount of rain through the summer!
