The monsoon rain, hail, and flooding have taken a break,
and full-on summer has finally arrived in my neighborhood.
The Hail Beats Down
It came so suddenly that we couldn't get Terry's car inside the garage.

It was great to be able to walk along Piney Creek after the flood waters subsided.
The recent rains welcomed summer in and the vegetation flourished with lush exuberance.

Our summer monsoon break was brief.
Yesterday we were under a tornado watch,
a severe thunderstorm warning, and a flash flood warning.
Today the wind is rising, the thunder is rumbling, the clouds are building,
and the temperature is dropping. And it's not even noon!
The afternoon could be exciting!
Have a great weekend!
Till next time ~

My next post will be soon! 🤞
