Spring Showers.



We have had some serious rain lately. The sun has just disappeared for the last 10 days. Last night a little after midnight I woke to the sound of a serious storm. The thunder was shaking the windows and the lightning was crazy. Sarah was already up and nervous. She has begun to be really afraid of any storm. The dogs were barking. So we were up for a while. It just kept on and on. The power went off. I kept waiting to hear a tree snap and fall. Much later we all went back to sleep. The teenager did not hear a thing. Sarah and I were dragging this morning. She had an orthodontist appointment at 8:30 in Little Rock. The flooding in central AR was so bad it took us over an hour to get there. Fortunately the Dr. still had time to see her. Of course this all made me very late for work.

On the way out of the neighborhood we noticed the rain washed away a section of fence in the neighborhood. This picture is from the first house as you enter. We walked down to take a look this afternoon. I also got this cute shot of the butterfly. The ever vigilant Sarah spotted him first.

The day ends on a wonderful note. Kris Allen made it to the final three on AI. Arkansas will have a huge homecoming for him. How cool is that? Go Kris.
