Sweet Glorious Rain!

I went outside at 6:25am this morning and it seemed a bit darker than usual. In my foggy state I just thought "well, the days do get shorter" but then I heard thunder. I looked up to see a nice coverage of gray rain clouds blowing around in the sky.

I went in to watch the news and saw this wonderful line of rain working it's way across the west side of 820 and toward my house. By the time I left for work the ground was wet and there was a light sprinkle.

HOORAY!

It pretty much rained on me all the way to work but the coolest part was as I merged to a northbound route from eastbound I realized I was centered between big bright sunshine on the right and super dark rain clouds on the left. It was quite a site to see the buildings all lit up in the sunshine with the dark cloudy backdrop.

Then I saw a full arched rainbow shining colorfully against that dark background.

It was wonderful!

It might have been the same rain. :)

We got some too, but not as much, and earlier - before we woke up. It was dark all morning, but the rain was mostly done. It did keep the temperature down for quite awhile, though!
