| Rideau Lake –clouds roll in |
Arriving home to grumpy cats who'd been in all morning and afternoon, I took them for a forest walk. No sooner did we get into the forest when the thunderboomers started.
Daisy looked in the direction of the noise, but wasn't too upset. Being so wee, she is quick to

I love the contrast of the light reflected on the leaves, with the dark sky.

Buster was happy to sit with me on the front porch. Dorah wanted no part of it and wanted in.
Daisy (AKA Buster Jr.) took off back down into the forest. It boomed, it got darker, lighter again, then dark. Clouds rolled by.
Nope, Dorah wanted indoors.
The rain started. Thick, heavy drops, smashing into the golden leaves remaining as if to say, 'get off with ye!'
Daisy showed up, and sat on under the bench. All of us took shelter indoors!

That sure was a storm, wasn't it!!! I left my potting soil scoop on the patio, so I could measure the water - an inch and a half!!! Almost 4 cm. Guess husband doesn't need to water the new tree the city planted on Friday...
I bet our Stick Tail will be grumpy when we get home. We spent the night in town last night. We left him home alone because it is so hard on him to travel at his age. We left strict orders not to let the mice in to play. - Margy
Surprising how many things happen as a storm is approaching. We have had a very dry fall which is just fine as harvesting can be completed.
That's enough rain for me. I'm with Dorah!
