After the Storm

This is the last photo I took yesterday as a stormed rolled in from the North. As you can see, my security light, on one of the out buildings, thought it was night and turned on automatically.

The good news is we got some much needed rain, although it was a hard driving rain.

Smoky, in his nonchalant way, is helping me check for any damage.

Pot plants took the biggest hit with the strong winds.....

                                           But righted, everything seems to be OK.

Lawn chairs were overturned.

I guess the most damage was to the tender growth on the pecan trees. It means there will be less mature pecans at the end of the season.

Clean-up is scheduled for later today before the temperatures soar back into the 90's. This is a small price to pay for the much needed rain....

Storm on the Horizon

This is what it looks like on The Prairie when a summer storm rolls in. You can hear the thunder rumbling and see the lighting in the distance.

Where ever I stand on the farm, I can see the horizon. So, storms coming in can be very intimidating.

The winds became stronger making the trees swirl around. I got so excited that this photo is out of focus. But, I wanted you to see how dark it became at 6 pm.

 As usual, the electricity has gone off a couple of times and the Dish connection for the TV has been interrupted. Forty-five minutes later, the storm has moved on.

I thank God for the much needed rain.......
