It's Raining, it's Pouring

Finally an answer to the local prayers! It's raining!!! And it has been on and off every day for about a week. I know that the farmers and ranchers are especially grateful. Monsoon season has finally reached our part of the world. And it is definitely about time.

I went with Trevor last night to work for a couple of hours. We did it so that his workload would be a little less today, but I think that it was more work than it was worth. We are so happy for the rain, but because of it we were in one giant mess! On one trip to Round Valley there was a point that we could hardly see in front of us. Lightning was flashing all around and one time struck very near. I tried to get a picture of the lightning but it just wasn't happening.

Out towards the blue hills there was so much water from the rain that it looked like several ponds were out there, but it was all just run-off. This was right off the side of the road. Normally it is a very bare stretch of land.
