Day 193 - July 12

I took a couple of cute pics of the kid at the playground this morning, but decided to go with two iPhone pics from this afternoon instead.

We've had a pretty serious lack of rain around here lately. We've been getting afternoon thunderstorms, but they always seem to just skirt our neighborhood, so we get thunder and lightning, but little rain.

That changed in the last two days. Last night we got a wicked storm around dinnertime, and then we got another this afternoon during Michaela's naptime. Thankfully, none of the thunder claps were loud enough to wake her up. Last night, we had to tell her that the thunder was just "God bowling with the angels"... a story both Jason and I heard in our families growing up.

Anywho... two pictures so I can show off the rain. It POURED. The lawn has been so deprived of water, though, that the small pond was quickly absorbed. We'll see how long this rainy streak lasts. The garden, lawn and my water bill really appreciate it!!
