We have had quite a bit of rain lately. It’s hard to believe, but we’ve even had some flooding across the state. It started with the severe weather and we had more storms.
It made for dramatic skies when the severe weather just missed us.

The boys were wired with the stormy weather.
Other rounds were just nice thunder showers.

Everything is looking nice and green.

I’m grateful my trees made it through last summer’s horrible drought.

We’ve had a bit of sunshine in between the rains.

There was another round of horrible storms Monday night that once again, went below the severe level before reaching us. I did make sure everyone was safely in shelter.
Antigone was outside, but she did make it in during the storm.
We have been so lucky. It gave us another four-tenths of an inch of rain.
The kids were all playing in the barn.
Even though they do the reading for the drought monitor on Tuesday morning for release on Thursday, we’ve even had more rain since then. Tuesday evening saw a little thundershower that had some amazing clouds and then a beautiful rainbow!
I’m thrilled to say that across the state, the drought monitor released yesterday has shown much improvement.
And with the continued rain since Tuesday morning, I’m hoping that I will at least move up from “moderate” to “abnormally dry” by next Thursday.
