The Rain Storm

Well last night we had this amazing rain storm! We actually were just putting the horses away, when all of the sudden a cloud burst of rain came down. We decided to watch it for a while, then it got crazy...hail the size of pebbles started coming down too! I haven't seen anything like this since my mission in St. Louis...I love seeing the rain come down, but the lightening I could do without! The storm continued all night...it didn't rain hard all night but off and on it would. I was expecting the ground to be really moist and soft, like Utah, but when I went out this morning to feed the horses and chickens, it barely looked wet! I tell you this place is crazy! The lower part of our property did collect a good sized puddle, my flowers just looked a little hammered, and the garden just looks bigger...all that rain gave it lots and lots of energy to grow I guess. All and all we made it through the night, the animals too. Looks like another storm is rolling in so we will see what happens tonight. Thank heavens we don't get tornado's here...that would just freak me out!
