Shooting Clouds

This morning - up again - early - hey, this could become a great new beginning - tsk tsk. 

We had rain (actual downpour) yesterday afternoon and thunder and lightning over night...cooled things off just a little, and brought out my favorite friends (not) - the mosquitoes - they will carry a person away.  Clouds turn so quickly some times.  Took the one above, did a 180 - took the next one..

turned back around to look at those cool popcorn clouds and saw they had changed, but had a rainbow sticking out of the bottom.   Reminds me of the blog called Clouds 365 - Community.

Speaking of popcorn, it's almost time!  Garden went to shambles this summer...too many weeds took over while I was away and when I say weeds, I mean the only thing to get them is gloves (to handle the stickers) and a lot of sweaty work which doesn't lend itself well on these hot and mosquito ridden days...oh well, there are still cool gourds, zinnias, sunflowers and I think the popcorn will make it.

Ooo, I hear more thunder.  BTW - rock was not delivered as promised..you try to buy locally and it backfires almost every time.  Supposed to arrive this morning.  That will be a true miracle if they show up.

ooooo. I see why you needed the gloves.

Please post photos of popcorn when ready.

Mosquitoes are abundant here too. Lots of rain = lots of mosquitoes.

The rainbow pic is sensational.

Rain, moisture, humidity and mosquitoes...ugh! There were tons of grasshoppers when I left. They were bad last year, too. Hope there is something left when I get back.
Will show you what it turned out to look like when we harvest it.

(I've been really neglectful of this space. Yikes!)   This summer we planted TREES on our property - spent so much time caring for them,...
