Enough of rain for now

The above picture was taken last Friday. The dogs were bored to DEATH!!!! It was thundering and lightning majorly. I usually walk them after our dinner but that evening was not the case. Mother nature was having a fit! And it was a bad one too.  I don’t mind walking if there’s thunder but then the man forbid me to go out at all.  He is the kind that if it thundering and lightning out, no going outside and no using the shower.  

In the picture below, we are in the central part where it says Twin Cities (the box towards the right), if you can read it.  Sorry for the blur picture.  I set the camera mode to something besides Auto.  Didn’t check it before taking the pictures.

There were thunderstorm and tornado warnings. There was actually tornado touch downs but far from us. The picture I took from the news on TV shows where the tornados are – the 2 big red round dots.  Needless to say, DB was glued to the TV watching out for the storm.    There was one bad storm over our head the next night.  Super heavy rain, thunder, lightning right before we head to bed (10 pm).  DB stayed up till the storm passed by which was about 30+ minutes later.

It has been raining every week, at least 3 – 4 days a week.  The ground is so saturated it’s no joke.  Walk on it and it’s “squish, squish”.  There’s water running off the grass onto the sidewalks and roads even the day after.  

There is more rain forecasted for this weekend….storms.  Whoopee doo!  “Love summer weather!”
