Rain!

We've had more than 2" of rain in the past 36 hours. Woo hoo!
I slept late because that nasty tooth is still making me feel bad. But, the air was still below 60 degrees when K and I started our hike this morning, making K more playful than she's been in a while. During our rests, I was focused on the wildflowers that perked up overnight from more rain in the past two days than in all of June combined!

K watched over me while I photographed the gems.
A bumblebee waved to all of us from atop a flower on Hug Hill.
I hope that you're all enjoying your weekends, be they sunny or rainy! Yay for rain and for more on the way. Look at the clouds behind K!

    Yay! Rain! We could use some; we've gotten a trace in the last couple of days but predicted storms haven't materialized. Mountain weather is tricky stuff. Once you've had enough, send it north, would you?

    K isn't the only one who perks up when it's cooler, so do I. She looks great up there. Many hugs to you both.

    Hi Y'all!

    So glad K still feels up to watching over you.

    Wonderful news y'all had 2 inches of rain! Woo hoo is right!

    Had to laugh, since Hawk's blog today was a bumble bee, but it didn't wave, and wet flowers, though they weren't wild.

    Check out that buumble bee, gosh, that is a priceless picture as are so many of yours. K's coat looks so beautiful in that last picture. All the shiney healthy look of it.
    So glad you are getting rain, and if you feel like you are getting too much (ha ha) do send some our way.

    I'm glad that your day has been another enjoyable one, except for the toothache--I hope it feels better!

    I wish you could send some of that cool air to us here in the mid-Atlantic, temps over 100 today.....

    I just got wet from a thunderstorm. It was sunshine on the front yard and pouring rain on the back yard. I hope that tooth pain goes away soon.
    Blessings,

    I am sure the day will come when I am pleading for the rain to stop so I don't have so much mud, but right about now, I would love for the skies to open and pour down. We walked tonight in 102 degrees and I think I felt FOUR drops as we headed up the street, and then nothing.

    K looks good, bless her heart. And your photos are so beautiful.

    Hope you will be feeling a lot better soon.

    After our last week of 95 degree days, we have had some wonderful weather come to us. From 75 during the day and 50s at night. Tonight is gonna be 65 and it was 85 today. Very nicely done, Mom Nature, now take it everywhere!

    Hope the toofie is better and K is looking very good.

    Cheers,
    Jo, Stella and Zkhat

    Love that rain! We got some too today along with big boomers. We didn't like the loud noises. Our flowers perked right up also. Our 2 baby deer came out of hiding today and they are beautiful. Mother Nature can be truly amazing at times.

    Hugs,

    All for more raindances and more rain... It was so good to know our forests are being saturated! You certainly found a goldmine of wildflowers!
