The darkness deepened, the winds strengthened, as I entered the power of the storm. I passed farmers, desperately, hopefully, fruitlessly, trying to bale the hay before the rains arrived. I knew they had lost the race, when the rain pelleted my windshield, joining the wind.
As the rains fell, I imagined the dry ground welcoming the renewal as the grass sighed.

I'm with Ellen... send it our way!
We had nice black clouds, some lightning, gusts of wind - but only a few drops (like 5).
Maybe today!

This was great Gail, I felt like I was there. :) We've had some pretty good storms here also, a couple trees down the other night and serious lightening! I don't do lightening!! Hugs!!
Lots of places could use some rain. Sorry for the farmers, but yes, Rain is a good thing. :)
Never fails...when there is hay down the rains will come!
Pretty shots!
You really should write more my friend. As bad as the timing is, it is still good to have rain again. Sure beats those ugly cracked dry earth :)
Have a great weekend Gail!
