We have had two nice rains this afternoon, nice gentle rain but giving us about .8 inches of much needed moisture. After the first storm moved through I drove up the dam on Horsetooth Reservoir to shoot out across the city and eastern plains. The second storm moved in behind me while walking around Pineridge Reservoir at the foot of the dam. I go a bit wet but loved the smell and refreshing cool air.

Few things compare to the smell of the air following the passage of a thunder storm.

You are so right. We have a chance for more this afternoon, and I’d accept that.

Monty, We could certainly use some rain here. There’s been what they now call “pop-up” thunderstorms in the evenings, with very storm local associated downpours, but we haven’t had the pleasure of being under one for a couple of weeks. So…It’s hot and dry.
I love it when you can see the storm and rain on the horizon.

We just had another one move through with light rain and a few rolls if thunder. It cools things down and cleans the air. Did not realize you were hurting for moisture out there. I’ll set a bucket out and ship it to you.
