ahhh the rain we've had


We had a good amount of rain last week, and another fine helping this week, as well. Its finally starting to cool things down a bit, and that is much appreciated. The thunderstorm this evening was a wonder. The rain, in places, was pretty dense. Lowered the visibility into the valley. Got whipped around a bit by the wind. We even had a couple of power flickers - not enough to shut down the computers - and a nice lightening show.

The clouds were fairly nice, for the trip to the Farmer's Market this morning. Fran and Lillian, Dev and Shannon, Raine and I went. We had a good time browsing the vendors, Raine got her face painted, and I picked up some nice onions, and greens, and a few green tomatoes. Yep I want to try frying them. The the sun came out, and the day warmed up a good bit. The heat helped draw the storm together for this evening, though, and the lightening and thunder I already mentioned.

Fran and Lillian, we will miss you when you return home. It has been really nice to share some time with you, and the thought that you might return on a more permanent basis is a great one.
