Rain is not really what I want to be blogging about in July but this was something else. Will and I were just having a lazy Saturday afternoon and we were playing cribbage. I was winning in case you were wondering. Anyway, we just kept looking around us through all the windows in the house and it kept getting darker and darker. We had heard some thunder and were debating on if we were going to get a major storm and would the races at the Skagit be cancelled. Well...... we did get a major storm and the races ended up going after with a bit of a delay. I tried to capture as best I could with the camera the torrential down pour that followed. During this time we were also seeing who could get the best picture of a Hummingbird otherwise known at our house as "hummers". I will do another post of just hummingbirds but I have a very cute picture of a little hummer after the rain.

After:

| Our landscaping is running away. So sad!!!! |

| You can see just where the water traveled and washed away the mulch. |
Hummer:

| Our little drenched hummer. Isn't she cute?? I think it's a she. :) |

This was our adventure yesterday afternoon. We had fun and it was a good reason to be lazy and stay inside. I am off now to finish beating Will at cribbage. I am ahead four games so hopefully I don't choke. This morning Will cleaned up as much of the driveway as he could but looks like we will be making a trip to the dirt store for more mulch. Cheers and until next time!!
