Summer rain

We had three rain showers, with a little thunder and lightning, Wednesday evening.  The nice thing is the rain waited until I finished my river fence rebuild.

It was a nice rain and was more than just settling the dust.  We needed the rain as it was getting dry here and some of the grass was getting brown.

The second shower briefly had a little graupel with the rain.  The horses ducked under the cover of a pine tree, then moved under an apple tree that had more protection.  The cattle, with thicker skins, didn't care and continued to eat in the hayfield.

The last rain shower had much heavier rain.  Even the cattle sought shelter under trees.  As there are no trees in the hayfield, the cattle found shelter under tree branches that overhung the hayfield.  None of the trees along the house were large enough for the entire herd so they had to use three trees for protection from the heavy rain.

It has been a long time since I seen water gushing from my house's rain gutters.
