Elko Storm

A severe thunderstorm that passed directly over us sent Bob and Karl to their hidey-hole safe spots again.

Thunder, lightning, rain….

….and hail!

A lot of rain.

But after, that little bit of blue sky took over and the afternoon was dry, the water on the “road” was absorbed into the ground…

And then it did it again this evening.

This morning’s storm had me looking closely at the weather. Weather and work – I decided to start home tomorrow.

Morning walk in Elko

Yesterday morning was beautiful after the afternoon wind and night rain on Tuesday. It soon darkened and proceeded to rain with a bit of thunder thrown in until late afternoon. Karl and Bob spent most of the day sleeping: Karl behind my bed and Bob nearly next to him in a spot where the comforter hangs making a “safe” place.

I had plenty of work to get done and so just kept at it.

But that morning walk down the bluff and looking up at the sky and clouds – what a beautiful start to the day!
