Thriving after rain

This is part of the only photo I took today. It has been a very busy day and a warm and muggy one! It shows how the plants are thriving after the long very dry spell.

We had rain again at the end of the afternoon with one very close lightning strike. The full force of nature is extremely frightening. Luckily no damage was done.

I had a long committee meeting in town this evening and only returned as dusk fell at 2200. It was still 22 degrees centigrade!
