this is what the sky did tonight

and then it rained.

the air felt heavier tonight. it smelled like it was about to rain. it felt like it was about to rain. the clouds were thick and the sky was orange. it was one of those things that makes you stop and watch. i waited impatiently, because i love the rain. keeping an eye on my patio, watching for tiny rainspots to mark the cement.

the smell of the rain is one of my favorite things ever. the sound of the rain is one of my favorite sounds ever. water brings me peace.

WOW, those are some awesome pics!!! Love love love the orange sky.

Hasn't rained here that nice sort of rain yet... just the thick yucky drizzle that comes from fog & ruins my hair! LOL

It rained here too! Loved the smell of it. Loved the warmth of a summer shower. Did you hear thunder too?

It was weird for the sudden weather change, huh? We had a HUGE rainbow outside when we came out of the dentist office today. Wish I had my camera with me!

[Erin]

[laura]

the rain has been beautiful here too. we were also lucky enough see a full rainbow while the storm was heading in. watching lightning with the kids...hated it when I was a kid, love it now. the windows are all open; I'm soaking up the smell! I hope it rains tomorrow.

Nice shots... the thunder was so loud tonight I couldn't sleep... the lightening lit up my room every few minutes.

[Erin Duitsman]

Beautiful pictures Tara! Talk about rain...thunder and lightning throughout the night and again this morning with more RAIN.
I too love the rain.

what's rain? is that the stuff that falls from the sky?

(I miss rain. LOVE to nap while it's raining.)

[KimP]

Love those photos T. I'm with you on the sound of rain - I love to hear it on the roof (and I especially love rainy Sunday mornings when you can stay in your jammies and make a big breakfast & hang out!)

Loved that photo of McKenna & Anna playing too - such a cute conversation.

As to the stuff you want to use but can't - your a creative girl - use it in your way! (love that Foofala paper) Those ammo boxes are great for the mini psx stamps too... Have fun with all that!

Gorgeous pics Tara!

I love the picture of the hole in the sky. To me that is exactly what Heaven looks like...a little opening in the heavens to greet you when it's your time. Of course it never looks that way from an airplane but I digress....

Awesome pics!

mmmmmmmm! sounds heavenly. and the sky was so beautiful.

[Stephanie]

it rained here, too....but it was in no way shape or form as pretty as that outside! ;)

[stacy benintendi]

the rainbow that sharla speaks of was HUGE.
we were on the freeway and it started on one sideand ended on the other. the kids absolutely loved it. this is my favorite weather. i was sitting at the computer and suddenly i could smell that it was raining. time to make homemade banana bread mmmmmmmmm tis the season.

[Jocelyne]

Wasn't this the coolest thing to watch!?

[madness]

Hey T - how about the lightening and thunder last night? HOLY COW - I haven't heard thunder like that since 1978. Clapping and rolling . . .I'm shocked my kids didn't wake up.

Great pics.
