When the storm rolled in the skies darkened and all of our solar lights snapped to life. The dogs were startled and Jack became alert and cautious while Jill cowered and yelped at the repeated claps of distant thunder. Nathaniel watched everything with wide eyes while his mother held him in her arms and the slow drizzle that had rolled in became a torrential downpour. Puddles formed in our yard as the intensity of the rain increased and then just as Ryan was running out in his bathing suit and the dogs we're hiding under the chairs the rain slowed to a light drizzle and then stopped.
As the sun broke through the clouds the solar lights flickered back to rest and a rainbow appeared through a clearing in the trees just east of our house. It was quite tranquil and a relaxing after-dinner break before we got back to the unpacking and the work of moving in. Here's some pictures.
Our Cul-de-sac is drenched.
Jack and Jill. I brought them up onto the porch with us and snugged their leashes into the chair to get a picture of them. Jill hates thunder and anything loud. (Vacuums, drills, saws, loud movies hehe)
The rainbow! I took this with my cellphone. I only had my cellphone and my 1 mega pixel lighter cam with me... I have no idea where our camera's are yet. :)
Mommy and Baby. (I have to remember to put the cushions that actually go with those chairs on them.) Nate didn't mind the rain at all. He wasn't fussy but rather calmly watched everything with a look of serene curiosity.
Another shot of the rainbow.
Ryan in the Rain!
After the storm Ryan went back to Mount & Blade. (There at .851... they might actually release soon) You can see a glimpse of the mess behind him. :)
