and then it was gone. We did get some rain yesterday afternoon. Not much, about .10 inch. Peoria and surrounding counties did much better than that. It seemed like the rain headed over the top of us again like it had done all summer in the hit and miss showers.
This is what the sky looked like in the early afternoon. A fairly good shower and then nothing. At least it cooled off some.
Stay safe and be happy!!
Beth
Hoping it's a sign of more rain to come.
ReplyDeleteOh it is so pouring down here at the moment Beth, it's been a dreadful Sunday. Gone on all day , the garden is like a bog. Hope you get your much needed rain soon. Good to see it has cooled off for you.
ReplyDeleteHugs xx Sheila enjoy your Sunday.
Like Jill says, maybe more rain is on the way. The cooler temps are a welcome relief. Blessings to you this Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prayers for Frances/family.
well, darn! at least you had a bit of cool-down effect.
ReplyDeleteYour "eye on the sky" photo is impressive. Keep on dancing!
ReplyDeleteYes here too the cool is back temporarily and I am very much liking it. Have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteIt is crazy how these showers can be hit and miss. Yesterday afternoon I was home and the sun was out. 14 miles away my husband was in a heavy downpour for 40 minutes!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a little rain and it cooled things off a bit for you.
I am glad you got some rain. We went weeks without rain but now have had three or four heavy downpours in the last couple of weeks- Sadly, too late to save most of the crops. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteSame here Sweetie, we finally got the rain that we so needed. I woke to quite the dark sky and rain pouring down from the heavens. It was great! What a way to wake up. I threw opened my bedroom window, shut the ac off and crawled back into bed. Listened to the rain pound against the roof and sidewalk outside. The sound of the rain was like sweet music to my ears... cooled things down. Even today, the sun is shining bright, yet it is still cooler than we have had it in a long time. I hope it stays like this for a while.
ReplyDeletebummer, you need a good soaking rain!!
ReplyDeletewe had a bbq here yesterday, i was so happy it didn't rain!!
Keep dancing, my friend!
ReplyDeleteNow this sounds like a Tucson storm!:) .10
ReplyDeleteAs George Takei would say, "Oh my!"
we're getting afternoon downpours, Twin. I'll try to ship some over there.
ReplyDeleteWe got s good shower bout an hour ago, supposed to come back later. I hope your rain cloud comes back with a big'un.
ReplyDeleteIt has got to be disappointing to watch the rain clouds move over you without leaving much behind. We're having thundershowers this evening so I am trying to get my visits in before one begins in earnest.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visits to my corner. It's been a pleasure for me to visit here in yours.
Glad you got some rain! Hopefully you will get even more!
ReplyDeleteAs I type we are getting a bit of a storm. Glad it cooled down for you. I hope it cools us here too! Have a great day Beth!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
I thought was about same as my country too..
ReplyDeleteWe having the disappointing as cold rain all the time.
I hope you have a good weather soon.
Have a nice day Beth!
Thinking about you...

Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteWe're finally getting some heat, and now I'm wishing for rain, as I love it for the garden! Hope you get more rain soon!
I am dancing to your music! lol. We got some rain too - maybe we will all be getting more. sandie
ReplyDeleteSeptember is less than a month away, so those clouds HAVE to be bringing some rain soon. Hope you get your share soon.
ReplyDeleteGlad it cooled down for you there, but I know you could use more rain. We had more here the last few days. Our grass is finally starting to look a little bit green again. That's a neat picture of the rain clouds.
ReplyDeleteWe'had a lot of skies like that but it just teased us with about 12 drops, then the heat was on again. The tree series of photos look like many trees in Arkansas. Our native oaks already have some kind of fungus called "oak decline" and the heat is putting a finishing touch on them. Aerial shots really show how we are losing our forest canopy of oaks. The so-called 'natural state' is losing some of its native attraction.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
Glad it cooled off a bit. Hoping for more rain this week. :) Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWell a little is better than nothing Beth, we've had glorious weather her down south UK when all around were deluged.
