I woke to the sound of rain, yeah!! Much cooler with a high of 76.
I was so excited we were to get rain all day. Then I heard we were in a thunderstorm warning and a tornado watch until 8PM, and I said to myself, here we go again.
Around 2:30 the worst of the storm hit our area with drenching, vertical sheets of rain. Then the winds started up, and as I watched the large trees bend and sway with the wind, I said, "If I loose another tree, I'm moving!"
Thankfully we didn't loose any trees, nor did we see any tornadoes, straight-line winds, or hail, like some parts of NH experienced. By the end of the day, I'd say sometime around 7:30PM, the sun was peaking out from behind clouds. Everything looked and smelled so good. I decided to go out and check the rain gauge, and we'd gotten 1.5 inches. Boy did we need every drop!
About Me
- Silks&Magnums
- I grew up in the mid-west, but by now have lived in nearly every region of the country. When it came time to "settle-down", I chose New Hampshire because of it's beauty, and close proximity to Boston, the ocean, and the Mountains. I never tire of the wildlife that visits my yard; including Black Bears, Fishers, Bobcats, Fox, Turkeys, Muskrats, White-tailed Deer, Porcupines, Red, Grey and Flying Squirrels, Chipmunks, Rabbits, and an incredible amount of birds . . . to name a few. I always wanted to live in a cabin in the mountains nestled in the sweetest green valley, and this is it, with a few more amenities. This is my little slice of heaven!
