A dark and stormy night

Wow, I did not expect that! I watched the news, and there were pops of storms north and south of us, but no apparent threat ... and then boom! Thunder, lightening, and buckets and buckets of rain! At one point, the whole yard looked like a pond ... I've never seen that much standing water in the yard in our 8 years here. It soaked in fairly quickly; but the shallow areas are still huge puddles. It went on and on for hours! No TV or computer ... well, I got the robe hemmed for Mama, and the ripped hem on a slip pinned ready to sew. I made use of the evening ... and tired out my eyes! LOL! It has finally blown on over, now that it's time to shut everything down for the night.
The forecast for the next several days is for rain and storms. Seems like this has been a wet summer. Too bad some of my flowers didn't make it to now; but I have some things out there that are very happy! :)
