The rains came
and came
The storm slacked and I was out rubber booting in my holey boots. Had to see the effects of all that rain in such a short while.
This is normally grass and a dry creek
no longer dry.
Our road about the time my umbrella turned inside out and the lightening began again in earnest. I decided maybe rubber booting during the storm was not so wise. It was invigorating. I shall see the damage tomorrow in daylight, repair water gates and check for fence damage.
The second storm coming in persuaded me to go inside. I felt like a sitting duck in the middle of the storm but how refreshing to witness Nature's power first hand.
The diamonds in the raindrops were a sight that always makes me smile. Dad used to have us watch for diamonds. This evening I saw them and smiled thinking of him.
We are safe. More rain falls as I write. Can't wait til morning. I will walking this flooded valley with holey boots and camera in hand.
Hope you stayed safe from the storms.
