Rain? Really? I Think Not!

It was a beautiful day today. The sky was bright blue with some clouds.  It was hot, but not bad.  There was the potential for scattered thunderstorms today. When I was out early in the morning, I could not see it. When I left the house in the early afternoon, I could see cells developing around us.

I ran errands, the last of which took me near Slide Road and South Loop 289.  In the store, I heard the thunder and saw the lightning, as I was checking out.  I walked to the car with big water drops falling on me.

As I got into the car, the sky opened up. The rain was hard and heavy.  I drove east, and within a mile or mile and a half, there was no sign of rain. Of course, it never rained at my house.

I watered my trees last night.  I think I let them get too dry earlier this summer.  I hope they survive.
