The storm on Saturday

 I noticed our doe and fawn were back. 




I took a video of them. They were cleaning up the weeds nicely!

I divided the video in two. I'm fascinated watching them. As I taped this, the storm rolled in. The poor fawn wasn't sure what was up. Momma just kept eating. This ain't her first rodeo!

Off it went, to join momma on the front lawn again.


The goldfish pond was quite full, from the runoff from the rain barrel.


On the back deck, I moved a pillow so it wouldn't get wet. The tree frog was hiding there!

It was a heavy storm.

Even the downspouts were back up. With this kind of rain, we cannot use those leaf guards wouldn't work. 

I thought this artistic, the rain was so heavy on the coffee table, the drops were bouncing.


There are many who can capture lightning bolts. I am not one of them. I videotaped the storm and hoped for a bolt. As is my luck, there was one bolt I saw, but it was just off-camera.


The storm rolled in and over us.

It was a lot of rain in one day. Very unusual for us. Nearly 49mm, or 2".



And goodbye, August! The girls come for the week, again. We'll see what we can get up to.

From a hot, dry month to a cool, wet one.
Enjoy today. I see we have two more rainy days in the forecast.

The young fawn, nowhere safe to hide. Looks like a huge downpour, hope you have a great week with the young ladies again.Allo good here, Dr so happy with my heart and BP, passed my medical AND the cognitive test for my driving licence. 30/31, after 10 minutes couldn't remember the last one of the 5 items I had been given, no rhyme or reason for ... a truck, banana, green, desk, and violin. Random words,every other question I sailed through.
