Rain!!!!

How wonderful to wake this morning to the sound of rolling thunder and raindrops on the roof!  We really appreciate every drop of rain.  The sunrise was absolutely stunning but, of course, a cell phone camera just can't capture the beauty.

Rain only lasted about 20 minutes but at least it rained enough to wet down the streets for a change.

I would have loved to sit out on the patio with a cup of coffee, but couldn't find a dry chair.  LOL.  Our insurance company has been wonderful and we already have a check for partial payment but Mesa Awning says they can't be here until late August.  WE MISS OUR AWNING!!  The house suffers in the hot sun without the shade of the awning.  I imagine our electric bill will be significantly higher too.

It looks like a HOT week ahead.

Our volleyball players know how to cope with the heat.

So do the cats!
