This rather grainy photo was taken at 7:40 a.m. this morning. The quality is not so good because it was thundering, lightning and raining like crazy when I snapped this picture!

Thursday, June 9, 2011 - It started raining during the night and as of 7:40, we've had 2 and a half inches of rain. When I went out to get the newspapers at 6:30, we only had an INCH and half.

This is quite a storm we're having. It's the result of 95 degree temperatures (for the past three days) running into very cold temperatures in the 60's coming in from the west.

At least we're not having wild fires like they are out in Arizona. That is so unbelievably tragic and so very sad. I always feel sorry for anyone in the path of a natural disaster - especially fires. There's nothing you can do but get out of the way and say a lot of prayers!

Better go. later. djb
