Wild Weather

Colorado is so GREEN right now! Though the meteorologists say this is typical Colorado weather we're having, I don't remember this much rain in the recent past. Each evening a new gang of clouds crowds the western horizon and makes it way eastward, gaining intensity and producing some pretty amazing storms. Hail, rain , wind, thunder and lightening happen all at once and , as quickly as they come, they go. 

This was taken from my parent's back porch during a tornado warning. See that swirling bunch of clouds? Yeah, thankfully that didn't turn into a tornado!  It should be noted that Mackenzie made me come inside shortly after taking this .

Freshly cut hay and a Colorado sky. There isn't much that can top that in my book.

This is Mack and my heart rock garden. She gave me my first heart shaped rock when she was three and is always keeping her eye out for them. Can you see all those hearts? We've added to the collection even more since then!

These daisies come from a plant that Mary bought two years ago off the clearance rack! They are pretty happy now though they weren't so much when we rescued them.
