Summer Monsoons
They start in the morning looking like this....big beautiful fluffy white clouds, and deep cobalt blue skies.
In the afternoon, the skies turn dark and foreboding....
And then it rains!!! And leaves us with lots of water everywhere :)

For the love of a milkshake....
Where I live, it's dry....seriously dry. In fact, it's so dry that the cows give powdered milk.
Well tonight, out here in this parched and barren wilderness, we had a rainstorm. This was no common rainstorm, but the worst in the history of my little home town.
What do the girls and I decide to do? Run to the store and get a milkshake!! (Now, you must remember we live out in the boonies, and it's not like we drive around the corner to the store. No, the store is quite a few miles away.)
On the way to the store, we admired the beautiful storm clouds, and as we came back out of the store, we were thrilled that it had started sprinkling. But as we hit the main road, we were thrilled no longer.
In just a matter of seconds, we were in a full-out flash flood. Completely flooded roads drug our car wherever they pleased, the lines on the roads were utterly gone, fallen trees were everywhere, lightening flashed uncomfortably close, the windshield wipers kept an ominous beat, and I began one of my most terrifying drives ever.
At the measly pace of 10 miles per hour, we crawled home with emergency flashers on. According to Jessie, it was "movie-worthy!"
I personally expected Thor to come down and land on my windshield....just sayin'.
Definitely an adventure......but next time, someone else can drive ;)

Picture Day!!
The girls and I spent an amazing afternoon with a friend getting our pictures taken - for a change! She is sooooo incredible and talented and I cannot wait to see how the shots turn out BUT...the highlight of the day was when she crawled under the altar to get the angle she needed!! To say it was priceless would be an understatement!!
On the way home, the dark and gorgeous sky with the cornfield in front proved too good of an opportunity to be missed. We pulled the truck over, and got some shots...or tried to. I LOVE the monsoon season and the clouds and storms it brings!!
*disclaimer - Jessie took this one...thus the soft focus :) :) :)*
