Yesterday's weather was highly unusual, rather delightful, and kind of crazy. It rained in the morning, totally cleared up, then seriously poured in the afternoon.
It was like it couldn't come down fast enough! Then it decided to hail for a bit. I opened all the windows and watched it...delicious.
Surprisingly, Landon 's first soccer practice (which was at 3:30) wasn't canceled because the weather had cleared up where it was being held (5 miles away from us). Crazy.
I brought my lawn chair, Ensign Magazine and a book, but was distracted by the seriously beautiful views from where I sat.
What an incredible view from the back of an elementary school! Landon is now on a team of 7th and 8th graders, so they look big! The coaches pushed them hard and had them running the whole time, so this is going to be much more challenging than in past seasons. Woohoo!
I read this article which was so good. I picked up my book after that, but ended up watching the boys practice instead. We only know one other boy on this team, so I was curious about the other kids' skill levels.
It rained some more at our house, then cleared for a beautiful sunset, then it poured again.
Gorgeous.**Do you enjoy weather like this?
What are you reading?
Do you keep lawn chairs in your car?**

THose pictures are so beautiful! We had some great weather yesterday. I love all of the rain. I wish we could get more.
I think rain/thunderstorms are on my list of top 5 best things ever. I LOVE them, and those pictures you posted are just breathtaking. Send some of that great rain to Texas! :)
Gorgeous!
I'm reading the ensign too-
Ya know I love a good summer rain!
I can't believe soccer/school is starting! this summer has gone by way to fast...
We were supposed to get a really good thunderstorm last night. This made me giddy. I've been reading friends complaints back home about thunderstorms waking them during the night. Last night was disappointing. There were only a few flashes of light and thundering booms. *sighs*
That second to last pic with the mountains is just gorgeous. I love it.
I'm reading the Night World series by L.J. Smith. I started reading it when I was 11. I recently found these books in Half Priced Books, and am surprised to find I still like them. So much better than *cringe* Stephanie Meyers latest fad.
Yep. We have lawn chairs in the van. Dang near a requirement.
The weather was crazy delightful! We had a football practice that got moved to an overhang while the lightning flashed nearby. I should keep lawn chairs in my car- but where would I put my groceries?
Love the photos!!
Oh that kind of weather makes me jealous!! Not that I can complain, we have had the most mild summer I can ever remember. We haven't used our AC in over a month...it's 75 everyday...but I do love the rain and especially a good thunderstorm. And the best part is how BEAUTIFUL everything looks after...blue skies, puffy clouds, rains soaked streets.....
the weather has been out of control. we woke up this morning to a monster thunder storm and i described it the same way...delicious. it was great.
though i was really happy that it cleared up for swimming at my mom's in the afternoon.
your views are beautiful
Your pictures made me really, really miss Utah. It is so gorgeous.
what an amazing sunset! wow! your weather is similar to ours lately- random rain and clearing- only i think we're getting more rain. :) not so much enjoying it...
i have never kept a lawn chair in my car- though it seems a good idea.
Okay, so I watched a room with a view last night. Did yours have full frontal nudity on men?? I knew nothing about this movie so when it started showing 3 naked men running around it was quite shocking!
I love that last picture you took of the clouds. Weather like that rejuvenates me!
That is gorgeous! Man, I am sad that I missed that great weather. My favorite.
i have to say that all of your rain posts made me so happy this summer. i love rain, and i loved rain storms in utah, so it was great to get a glimpse of both!
that view is killing me, killing me.
i've found that i take spiritual things much more to heart when i read them outside. interesting. too bad it's been so hot, and too bad the mosquitoes seem to love me.
i guess i've gone back to lower casing? it just kind of happened. hmm.
