Yes, Annie and I were blessed with rain this weekend in Strawberry! It was such a lovely sight. It made the air so sweet and cool. I had just about forgotten how nice an afternoon and evening rain could be.
The clouds started building around noon on Saturday. They did not disappoint.
We were in “town”…that means Pine which is just three miles down the road from Strawberry…picking up some goodies from the Honey Store when the clouds burst.
It rained for half an hour or so and then let up by the time we got back to the cabin. We settled in for some scary movies and soon were being serenaded by another shower. I fell asleep that night listening to the rain through the open window, snuggled all warm under my blanket…perfect sleeping weather.
Living down in the Valley, we get used to short cloud bursts or more often than not…only wind and dust, no rain. I really needed this time with the rain. I’m pretty sure I must be meant to live in Oregon or Washington. I’m not a very good desert rat.
I’ll get caught up with all your blogs as soon as possible.

Oh that sounds nice. It has rained here everyday. Sometimes, I'll just keep the screen door open and listen to the sound of the rain. So relaxing. Very comfy....not so sure about the scary movies though:) That rain looks nice!

Glad you got some respite from the heat - and the dust I hear! And rain in the mountains is soooo soothing!

Oh, nice! We got some rain, too! I love to watch it!
Lucky you!! Not a drop at my house.
Refreshing! We just had one like that go through and another on its way. It was 84 until the storm came and it went down to 68 in about 5 minutes! I love it!
Oh, crap. I forgot what rain sounds like.
