Back to Normal.... and Beyond!

We've made it thru the week from hell. The last three days were over 100 degrees and that is unusual for this area. This morning I woke up to clouds, rain, and a cool cool breeze. At 11am it was 63 degrees with 84% humidity.

The two shots below were taken through my dirty window when it was raining. (I like how the headlights reflect off the moisture.) You can see the rain drops on the window in the second shot.

 

 

Then a lightning storm moved over the area and we were without power for about 30 minutes. Very dramatic sounding. The picture below was "borrowed" from a local news site. (my camera is so slow it would be an accidental miracle if I captured it.)

 

Once the rain changed over to drizzle I took the opportunity to run to the store for a few things. I came back broke. Summer sales, doncha know. I did snag myself a summer hat for next year...$5. Now the challenge will be to put it somewhere where it won't get smashed. The second challenge will be to remember that I have it next summer.
