Monsoon!

Yay! It finally came! It has been raining hard for about an hour and a half and I don't think it will be stopping soon. The temps have dropped and it feels and smells soooooo good! Loving it!
I took this picture off of our patio.
That rope is left over from my clothes line. Happily I don't have to use it anymore, I'm just too lazy to take the rope down. :)


Here is where the girsl left a cooler on the grass for a couple of days. It filled up with water in just a couple of minutes.



You may be thinking, rain....big deal. But is is so amazing to watch these storms move in and see how powerful they are! Two years ago it rained so hard the girls toys were floating by on the patio. The water came right up to the back door, but luckily it slacked off just in time.



I'll tell you who isn't happy it is raining. My cats came flying in the pet door tonight. Stanley was quite fuzzy from being wet. And my dog hates all water. She refuses to go outside and use the potty when it rains or is windy. I know, she is a baby.
