    I always have my camera with me when I water my gardens and yard.

    While out there I could here the thunder but there wasnt a cloud in the sky(so I thought...the sky was one big cloud). It moved in fast but moved out faster. Not a drop of rain with it. Lots of talk but nothing to back it up. :-x

    Sure looked like rain to me! Someone else will get all my much needed rain.I was really hoping for rain so I could shoot off my fireworks on the 4th.

    I think you were protected by the Gnome Dome Denee :D It was a close one though.

    Same here Denee, I work in Gonzales, about 17 miles from where I live. Gonzales has had rain 3 or 4 times in the last 2 weeks, us,nothing. I called DH from work today and he said he could hear thunder and it was very overcast, but no rain.

    Do you think you could bucket some of it and send it off to Toni, Sharon and Dooley? I'm sure they would appreciate it :D
