    Here in San Angelo, we have been having pouring rain with thunder and lightning all night. I woke up to a river outside on our street. My husband was lying on the couch enjoying the sound of the rain on our skylight. The best part about today's weather is that we will only be in the 80's! Woo hoo!! COOLER weather!!!  I hear that we may have another cold front come through at the end of the work week.

    You are all welcome to come here.  No sun, just clouds, rain on and off and it's 63.  I could make a pizza though and that would probably make everything OK???

    We got our first good rain in a while here too.  Apparently 4-5 inches in a very short period of time, which washed out the hole they cut in our driveway.  [:@]  Now I have to drive into the yard to get in and out in my car. And the mud it created.  If "y'all" don't know about Indiana, it's not dirt, it's clay.  Red, sticky, ugly clay.  In the dead summer, it's hard pack and forget about digging!  In the rainy season, forget about trying to walk through the mud.  It sticks to your shoes in layers!  Easily add 5 pounds in a few steps.  Even though we got a lot of rain, it came down too fast and most will run off and not soak in.

    When I came home from work this afternoon, it was hovering in the upper 70's. Oh yeah! Oh yeah! It was muggy but inside the house, cool, without the ac having to run forever. Sweet!

    I usually stop on the way home to get something for dinner. You won't believe this but I got a frozen pizza.
     
    What are the odds?

    We've had steady rain, now and then, the exact kind of rain we need. Too much too fast and it will just run off. Slow and steady allows it to get into the ground. I've had cracks in the ground so big, I looked down one crack and there was another guy looking back and he said "G'day, Mate."
