Distant Rumbles

Distant rumbling from a thunderhead a few miles south is no promise of rain tonight at the homestead, but it happened yesterday. A pleasant surprise which cooled down that summer's dogday and made the garden plants happy, too, approaching end of this August.

UPDATE: The rain fell at 11:00 PM last night and again at 7:45 AM this morning. Not a lot but enough to keep the green going a few more weeks. A relatively mild summer so far has brought only a few 100+ degree days and very little drying of ground and stuff growing in it.
