It rained all night. This morning felt so wet and fresh. We decided to go wander around on "the mountain" across the road. The girls call it "the mountain", really it's more of the hillside on the mountain we live on...
(Chloe rarely takes of that bonnet these days. Jason has taken to calling her Yellow Bonnet.)
Chloe has a special rock friend up there. It has a name, Lily I think. (I feel kinda bad for not remembering the name of my daughters special rock friend.) So after some exploring, visiting the deer beds, looking for Oregon Grape berries, we sat on the rock and read a chapter in On the Banks of Plum Creek.
Our garden certainly enjoyed the rain. This afternoon I picked some fresh flowers for the nature table. We have so many calendula blooming right now! I'm thinking of gathering petals and making some salve.
And then this evening we noticed that there was a strange brightness outside, and look what we found...

All of that gorgeous the rain you've been getting! It's been wet here (as usual), but the irony is that when our lovely neighbors from Boulder were here a few weeks ago, it was during the fluke-ish 104F days! They pointed their fingers and said - it's raining and cold at home & you lured me here with the promise of cool, gray days (LOL)!
Wow! How lucky to see such beautiful colors streaming across the sky!
I love that your daughter has a special rock friend, my daughter also a rock she calls her own called her "thinking spot" It sounds like a lovely day!
