Yep- same here...Lots of dry storms with electricity...I luv herefords west of me has been getting the rain- but by the time they get here they've just petered out to lightning...Getting hot and muggy now...

This morning we got a little shower- just when I was riding the 4 wheeler into the Fairgrounds to watch the grandkids in the little kids rodeo...But it quit just after I got there...

Gabe won the chicken catching and the pig catching contests - rode a sheep in the mutton busting too but didn't win that one...He won $10 worth of movie pass's and $10 worth of MacDonalds gift certificates- and you'd have thought he won thousands Wink Laughing

I'd planned to take pictures but I found out my batteries went dead after the first picture.... Rolling Eyes

We had a dry thunder storm the other night in the area which sparked a forest fire a little ways away from here Shocked . Its under control so I've heard. Tonight we are getting a really nice much needed rain. Very Happy
I'm happy to have my hay all picked up and under cover. Very Happy

Rained yesterday so we went to Town for parts and groceries. Watched part of the High School Rodeo Finals and met NR, we're both alive and unscathed so everything OK. Very Happy Very Happy Laughing Got home at 1:30 AM. Poured rain most of the day so was good to take a break. Clearing tonight.
