Storm came through

[dsmith]

Whew, we had a huge storm came through. Good thing is that the bottom dropped out as far as rain. Bad thing is that it had extremely high winds. Here is what it looked like coming in:

The rain was wonderful. But it was a total white out for about 10 to 15 minutes. Haven't seen a rain like that in a long long time. It is standing deep in the yard. Luckily, we are up on a hill, so flooding isn't a problem here. But the strong winds totally laid our garden down. Remember how pretty it was? Now it's flat. But hopefully,it will stand back up and survive. Not sure if the potatoes and corn might have been uprooted. Too mushy to get in to look close. Time will tell.

It will come back still plenty of life there.

Still looking good. Beats my six tomatoe plants..

Yea, I think it still looks good, too! Had a small storm with just a little rain come through last night. Settled the dust a little, but all was dry dust again by this evening (Tuesday). BUT..... it REALLY stormed tonight. Anxious to see what it looks like in the daylight. Looks like I might have gotten a couple of inches of rain this time. Sure glad I was spared the hail!

Have had a nice gentle rain since about 1:30 this morning. Temps back down to mid 50s.

I sure could use mid 50s right now!
It got pretty dry for about a week, but then the rains started coming through again. Not too hard so far, just some good, soaking rains with a little thunder boomers. My squash are loving it and looking good. Tomatoes were looking good, too, but my chickens found them! Even the green ones... all gone.

At least the chickens should be nice and fat. Mid 70s and sunny after 2 days of gentle rain and high winds. Blew the tomatoe plants over to the ground. Am hopeing they will pull through.
