Muddy Monday (complete with Macro)
All last week teaser clouds rumbled around the horizons, but it didn't rain. The guys went after hay like crazy, finished up a bag and got another on the bagger. Last night there was a new set of ominous boomers rolling by and Alan asked on the way out to chores if I wanted the computers unplugged.
Nah, just another empty threat.
Not
Within an hour it was pouring(just so you know, we didn't need it.) and we really got dumped on. Ramped the humidity up even more and it is predicted to get up in the nineties again today. Guess we are going to get summer all at one swoop.
The guys are so close to finishing up the hay and really need to bale a few thousand...it can stop now.

i hate humid storms! we had one our first night in fiji lol
Nice shot! I hear you with the rain. I like everything nice and green and am happy to finally have all my horse hay in the barn (well, the neighbor's barn, but ready to deliver, so I shouldn't jinx myself by saying it's already in OUR barn ;-). However, I still don't have my sheep hay. It's almost September and I'm a little worried. So it could stop raining for just a little while please...
We've been getting rain hear too ......... hence no internet connection.......I loved your pink clouds yesterday. I do hope you get your hay up in great shape
I love how crisp your photo is. I've got my fingers crossed that you'll get that hay in before your next rain. With all of the rain you've had I'm surprised you don't have waterfont property by now.
CSL, thanks, I feel bad for all the folks whose rain is falling here. Wish there was some way to send it where it is needed
Colleen, thanks it is one of my favorites
Lisa, thanks, it is that little palm tree with the pompom top that you and Matt gave me a couple years ago..I think for my birthday. Thanks for the beets and zuccs by the way, which are fantastic!
Linda, a double thank you!
Laughing Orca, thanks, I truly wish we could send it. Too much for us, but useful somewhere else.
Flower Weaver, thanks, I believe that it is, but I lost the tag. It was a gift and is one of my favorites.
Ed, thanks, if Phoenix needs some rain I know where they can find it.
FC, thanks, me too
SC Momma, thank you. We nearly do! The river is just down there beyond the driveway and it is surely bankful this summer!
zz, thanks, I was doing something else and it caught my eye last week.
Ronelle, thanks so much
RG, thanks! This has been the summer for nasty weather patterns. Guess we should be used to it.
Patches, thanks!
Holly, thanks, you are right, although I missed it...

Nice color, I think I know what it is but it's too early to try to spell it. :)
Great color!

Lovely macro!
Please send some of that rain here (minus the humidity). Somehow we've missed out on our monsoon season.
