After the Rain



The summer rains we had on Tuesday and Wednesday were very nice and washed away a lot of dust. Cooler air was a pleasant change. Now the skies have cleared and the summer heat has returned, today's high was 99 F. (37 C).

To view more skies from around the world visit SkyWatch Friday!


I want to remind everyone about The Farmers' Market Challenge this weekend! Get your entries ready, I will open Mister Linky late tomorrow night PDT so it will be ready for you on Saturday morning! You can see more details about the Challenge HERE!

Did I mention there is a little giveaway involved with the Challenge? I will be giving a market/shopping bag like the one above to one of the participants in the challenge. All you have to do to win is have a valid entry in the Farmers' Market Challenge this weekend. See tomorrow's post for more details.

The rain must have been a very pleasant respite. I don't envy you your high temperatures but I do like the sky in your last photo.

Hi J and Miss Cindi Lou,
99 that is a horrible temperature for you all. Sounds like the deep south. HA

Lovely pictures of the rain clouds and the beautiful sky afterwards.
Happy Friday and we look forward to reading all the Farmer's Market Challenge posts. We had a successful shopping trip today :-)
