Thunderstorms are rarely appreciated but one was definitely a sight for sore eyes last night as we have been without rain for so long and things are so dry and hot that most around here would have probably settled for anything. As it was, the temps quickly cooled and we had about twenty minutes of solid rain that was welcome relief. I snapped a few photos after supper at Cracker Barrel first from the parking lot in front as the rain cloud approached ahead of the thunder and lightning….

….and then from up on the hill above and behind it in the ball diamond parking lot….

I was even lucky enough to capture a lightning bolt….

THANK YOU GOD for the rain !!!!!
