Rain Delay

We had a massive rainstorm today. Literally the rain pours down in sheets, I have never in my life seen storms like these. From what we hear from neighbors this has been a wet summer compared to the normal, but that the storms are typically big like this when they come. We sat on the front porch for nearly two hours watching. I tried to capture some of the lightening strikes and thunder on camera but failed miserably. Every time I picked a spot to video the lightening would strike in another area, oh well!

I was going to be blogging the work we did in the yard yesterday, we tore out a bug eaten over grown bush, I failed to take the after picture when we got done. So of course it has been raining all day today and now I will have to get one tomorrow. Sorry!

So instead we finished decorating above our fireplace mantel. Jef was the only one to give me his opinion (the rest of you are worthless!) we liked the idea of a flat screen T.V. but since we bought a big one for the family room we had to restrain ourselves...and we kind of wanted to get away from just having a T.V. on all the time, in every room.

So we just went with a simple orchid, mirror and a picture I took of one of the Lake Erie beaches.

I will get a picture up tomorrow of the yard come Hell or high water.
