I've been trying to cull old photos off of my computer and my phone. I ran into this one today, and it's from about 4 years ago. It wasn't a bad storm, that I recall, but it was a doozy of a rain maker. My pond needed it, the grass needed it, and I needed a break from the heat.
Just looking at this photo cools me off some. It's 99 right now, and my weather station says "Dangerously high heat index". No messing around with it. It's hot out there.
Needless to say, the heat is keeping me indoors.
I can't say I am thankful for the extreme heat, but I'm sure there are folks somewhere who are quite happy with it. That would be the beach-goers, and the pool splashers. Maybe even the farmer who needs to get his hay in the dry, or those who have to work outdoors and would lose a payday if it were nasty weather.
So while those folks are out there enjoying the sun, I will work indoors and every now and then look at my storm photos with longing.
Hope all have a good weekend. Despite how much I long for fall I definitely do not want to speed up time, or skip a season. Even if I can fry an egg on the sidewalk out there...it's ok.
I will not melt. (HA HA HA )

It's so hot here too, and very dry! The photo is just gorgeous!
What a lovely photo. I don't like the summer heat either, but living up in the mountains, it hasn't been a terribly hot summer. This photo does cool you off a bit, doesn't it? You live in such a pretty area.
Have a nice weekend, and I hope you get some cooler days, Terri.

Hello,
Love the view of the dramatic sky and the birdhouse.
It has been hot and humid here for weeks now.
We could use some more rain.
Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
...we need a doozy of a rain maker too. Such a wonderful image!
Wow that is an amazing photo of the sky. Great lighting.
We're having my perfect weather lately. Sunny days with a high in the low 70's with a little rain some days.
We need rain. Stay cool. 😎

Hot and dry here, too. What a great image. Thank you for linking up.
I love cloud/sky photos and that's a good one! We're getting some light showers today which has dropped us into the upper 80s. I hope you're getting some relief today, too.
Oh what a beautiful sky....I would love to have those deep clouds hovering over our home right now.
I love that photo. I do like pictures of storms. Its about the same temp here, but my 99 degrees is never the same as your 99 degree days. Your heat is just miserable. My son in North Carolina has had that temp with the heat index being high all summer long. We rarely if ever get that kind of heat. We also don't get rain. I was looking around at my old pictures today. What wonderful pictures I used to take. I need to really get back at it. I have gotten lazy. All there is to take pictures of here are palm trees. Not a fan. Have a wonderful week.
We've sure had a hot summer and I've gotten things done inside but I'll be happy when I can get outside. Growing up in Arkansas, I always remember it cooling off after a rain and how nice that was. Hugs, Diane
That photograph is amazing.
Hope it cools down soon.
All the best Jan
