Rain

Moving away from Michigan certainly has made me come to appreciate it more and everything it has to offer.  It is one beautiful state!  Despite record high temperatures and a long drought this summer, I was lucky enough to experience a few fantastic rainstorms while back home.  I always forgot how much I miss the sound of rain and especially waking up to that sound.  Having a completely cloudy and stormy day is such a blessing when one is used to the hot sun all the time! 

I missed the thunder and lightening by just a few seconds...

Lots of rain...

As you can see, the grass was in great need of a nice long drink of water...

The front porch...

Cool clouds...

Mean as Hell

Summer is always full of great memories and as I try to keep up with my blog, I will attempt to share a few of those great times from this summer!  Just like Grandma Betty's birthday party will remain a wonderful day, so will Uncle Kevin's rendition of "Mean as Hell" as Johnny Cash.  He never cease to amaze me!  It helped that we have some very talented people in our family to help him out on a variety of instruments!  I am so glad that I was still up to hear this and even get a bit of it on video!  

You can be the judge and compare...but choose wisely... ;)
