Watching the Rain

Saturday June 29th 2024

Today began with a little more sun than Friday, but it was still humid. As the morning went by the clouds increased. By noon it was a heavily overcast day with storm clouds in the distance. The thunderstorms arrived around four and continued until about seven.

The rain is falling and the weeds are growing.

I was out running errands south of my RV home when the storm arrived. Watching the air to ground lightening as I drove north toward home was a combination of dread for what I might find when I got home and awe at the spectacle nature was providing. There was just a lot of water on the ground when I got home.

What was brown straw like thin grass a little over a week ago is now tall healthy dark green grass. The bare pat

The rain kept me from taking my early evening walk around the RV resort. That also took away my last opportunity of the day for capturing some pictures for this blog entry. I stepped outside my RV home in a light rain to see what I could find for pictures that describe the day. Rain falling in a puddle seemed to be appropriate and the wild lush green grass along the side of the concrete RV pad shows the impact of all the rain. The grass was brown and very stringy a little over a week ago. Today it is dark green and in need of mowing. This weather pattern will probably be in place most of the summer.
