Boys and water definitely mix

The valley seems to have gotten over its drought. We've had 3 inches of rain in three days. Most of the week there were afternoon storms, the kind you associate with summer. But each day they've been increasingly consistent and insistent. Wednesday I made the mistake of biking back to church after lunch: it was pouring by 4 PM and showed no signs of letting up. I had to bum a ride with Jennifer R. (thanks again!). Thursday it rained most of the evening. Friday it rained in the afternoon and evening, and then started up again in the middle of the night. And today (Saturday) it's rained pretty much all day. Our two little Power Rangers have enjoyed trudging up and down the gully at the edge of the lot near Kerlee Heights Road; water gushes through there. Some construction up the street turns the water a nifty shade of orange as it washes through! At some point Briggs apparently tried sitting in it! Tuesday evening Libby got this shot of the sky, with clouds and moon. Pretty cool.

Actually, Briggs is a Hot Wheels race car driver. See, you really can get multiple uses out of those silly spandex Halloween costumes. Thank goodness neither one of them wore the white Star Wars storm trooper costume out in the red mud.
