neverspentIt rained!
When I came out of my office in the early afternoon, the sky had gotten dark. I love the way a stormy sky brings out the colors of things. It was an actual thunderstorm, with some pretty impressive lightning, and it brought cool air.
Didn't rain much, just half an inch. Not enough to break the drought; we've had about three inches of rain in the past four months, and we're ten inches behind for the year. But it's nice to have the ground wet and that smell in the air.
By dusk the sky was as clear as it ever was. The forecast for tomorrow is for more unseasonably warm weather.
