Yeah, same here in the uppper desert of So. Cal. A thunderclap last night at 1:00 a.m. certainly woke up our entire household. The ensuing lightning and thunder kept us awake for quite a while. At least I can turn off the soaker hose for a few days.

Those close ones can WAKE you up! :=)
I had heavy thunderstorms most of the night. (Monday night)
Today I had a quick light rain. There was a tornado warning 2 hours north of here.
It does help when we can cut the water bill.

Very briefly, the sun is teasing me by peeking through the clouds. Oh..gosh... I am just thinking aloud my poor back is already acing from weeding our garden.

It has turned into a beautiful, sunny day. It is cool now for pulling those weeds. If we get them soon enough, they will be good in the compost. Some weeds are good eating.
Enjoy our Southwest!
Happy gardening
