Beautiful Day

After doing laundry and other things yesterday, we had a big thunderstorm come through the area during the afternoon.

It occasionally knocked out the power to the area and I had to re-start the dryer several times. It also made me have re-start my Blu-ray player at points where the player was knocked offline. Luckily, I got The Beast into the GOCO Beast Barn just in time.

But today is a gorgeous day outside. The monsoon storms have kept the area pretty green.

It looks like we may be getting some more thunderstorm activity this afternoon and tomorrow.
