Last evening we enjoyed seeing the edge of an approaching cold front. There were fluffy white clouds piled high, and gradually we could see the effects of lightening as its flashes outlined parts of the clouds. Sometimes it jumped from cloud to cloud, and sometimes we could see strings of flashes. It was quite spectacular. Gradually the front moved in a south easterly direction and approached Kerrville. Finally the rain came, but it was quite brief in duration. This was a nice cooling way to end the day here.
Mother Nature sure can provide a show. Usually we seem to see the approach of a rainstorm but not the edge of the front. Sometimes we also get the rainbow at the end of the storm and the promise for a new wonderful day. We need the rain here in Central Texas and appreciate each drop of rain. Two years of drought have taken their toll on the plants and trees. At the moment we have had enough rain to green up our park and grounds. It is really quite lovely and a refreshing change from the brown color associated with the drought. Happy travels.
