Rain coming down out of the valley

Down from the valley comes the rain and wind.


We were sitting on the patio when a burst of thunder woke us from our daydream state. Sherri looked at me and said she was heading inside. I was working on a painting and took a little too long to gather up my paints and brushes. The next thing I knew the wind started blowing warning me of the onslaught of rain that was coming. 
I just barely got everything gathered up when the rain plus the wind started coming from all sides. I shut the bay door and I too was right in behind Sherri.
This is the time of year that we get a lot of wind and rain about 3:00 pm. The temps drop as soon as the front passes and then the rain beats down sometimes accompanied by hail. You just got to love it! At home the temps are killing people and the humidity is stifling. They are saying that the temps are coming down which makes me feel more at ease about leaving.
We went out to eat filet mignon at the steak house in Monte Vista. Just across the street from the restaurant was the theater. We decided to see the show "Skyscraper". Was I worn out after this movie! 
Sherri needed to go to the grocery store afterwards so I drove over there and let her load up on food stuffs. 
We made it back home after dark and she got all the groceries put away and then I put myself away in the recliner...

Glad your painting didn't get ruined by the Rain but especially glad the Lightning left you all alone.
Looking at the forecast we could see Indian Summer this coming week. Way too early!
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It's about time.
