Rainy season has finally arrived in my neck of the woods. It's funny how we don't have to water our lawns all summer, just spring and fall.
Yesterday, I had just tucked my horse away, got in the car, and it took me half an hour to drive 7 miles home-I couldn't see. Then I pull into the driveway and the rain is super heavy. And I couldn't walk from car to house because the lightning was so bad, continuous and right over my head, one bolt right in front of my windshield. I had to sit in the car for 30 minutes because I couldn't walk the 25 feet to my front door. The bucket outside had 6 inches of water in it. That's alot of rain.
Of course, if no one gets hurt, I love being home when we get the bad storms, I love listening to thunder.
Two years ago lightning hit a very big tree in my paddock about 160 feet from the house. It snapped the trunk of the tree .
