Very nice! It's been a warm/dry one for several states. We've been doing ok over here in MI. Very warm here (warm for MI), but not as dry as other spots.

We had one just like that last week. It made for an extremely pleasant memory. No hail, no super high winds, just thunder, lightning, and steady rain, a half inch of it, beating down for about half an hour. Lovely! Living in Wyoming, it's easy to forget what a decent rain sounds and smells like. The plants were downright giddy with delight by the time it was over.
