With all the rain that's been falling in various parts of Texas, just NOT on us, we finally got a bit of it! Unbelievably, one small storm popped up yesterday and passed right over us yesterday, early evening. Even though it was small, it was mighty! It delivered 1" of rain to the farm in less than an hour. I got outside just in time to get some shots of just how dark and menacing the clouds were, before they were upon us.
You can really see the wall of water behind the front. That rain was comin' DOWN!
The storm really wasn't very large at all. The edges fanned out like light, wispy petals. The neighbor's cows weren't too concerned.
The color of the clouds was very pretty. There was a teal blue green area that would show through as the lower clouds rolled forward.
The breeze picked up, and I could see the rain was getting closer and closer. And it seemed as though we might be swallowed up by the clouds!
More of that pretty teal blue green color showing through.
And finally, it was time to go in... rain was soon to be upon us. YAY!
awesome pics! Send some our way in Michigan, we're terribly dry right now, my garden is crying!!!

FINALLY...HURRAY!!! I'm so glad the rain finally found YOUR farm, and gave it a sweet drink of much needed water! I've been worried about you, because I know what it's like to be in a drought. UGH. I hope you get some more, and soon. Bless your heart, those TX summers are just miserable. I'll be hoping with all my heart that you get some more rain this weekend. :D

Cool storm photos. I love a good downpour. It has been several weeks since the last rain. Garden is looking a little stressed so we will water this weekend as there is no rain in the forecast for the 10 day outlook! Glad you got some.

Congratulations! One small step for Anna, One giant step for twiggy....I wont rub it in but the weather here has been lovely and we had a nice shower the other night at Sylvan Lake in Montana with thumb nail sized hailstones and it washed all the dust off the trailer and made the drive out of the wilderness dust free. You have to take the good with the better. I'm hoping you get more and no tornado's as an extra.....Love, Dad
