5 Things – Summer Rain

For Dr. Tanya’s challenge:

5 Memories of Summer Rain

***

We had a very rainy afternoon I think it was last year. These photos show the rain coming down in parallel lines! The two trees are in two different neighbor’s yards across from us.

1.  We almost never get enough rain here as we live in a semi-desert area. So when it does rain it really comes down. Our street runs full like a river down to the lake by our house. There are areas of flash flooding in town, but as soon as it stops, you’d never even know it rained as everything dries out really quickly.
2. When I was a kid we almost always had rain on the first day of school. We’d have to wade through water and ruin our new school shoes.
3. Here in tornado alley, every thunderstorm we get could possibly have hail or a tornado with it. We drilled at home and school our safety procedures, and so did my kids when they came along.
4. It’s funny when we do get some rain, the local radio stations will suddenly start playing songs about rain.
5. We didn’t grow up using umbrellas, rain boots, or rain coats because we hardly ever get rain.

Thanks for visiting! Peace ☮️
