Thursday Thunder

Linda left for PB&Js house early this morning. Stacey and I had breakfast after that and then I took the Mule for a ride. I let Daisy run along as it began raining. It was a light rain so I let her take her time without being in a hurry. With the leaves being off the trees Daisy can run around the hills and I can still keep track of her.
 
That light spot in the center of the picture is Daisy about half way up the side of the hill going back into the 'holler'. She can run along the side of the hills nearly as fast as I can drive the Mule on flat ground. We went on back and turned around. As we were coming back down a long stretch of solid rock, Daisy sniffed all over a few old logs lying by the bottom of the hill.
  
I watched her go all around it, get half way buried trying to find something down in the dead wood. Finally, I called Daisy off the pile of wood and we went on out of the 'holler' and started back across the hay fields. The rain had let up a little and I stopped and took a picture of the farm from the edge of the hillside.
 
I put Daisy back in the barn and fed her, then Stacey and I walked down and started the pickup truck. I drove out of the hay shed and over to the old smoke house. I loaded in a chipper shredder and took it to the ATV shop for them to get it running and maybe sell it. We bought it and used it a couple of times in 2003 and it has set covered up ever since. We ate while we were in town and then stopped for a few groceries on our way back to the farm. Around 3 PM the weather radio went off with a tornado watch for most of KY. About a hour later, there was a thunderstorm that hit our area. It was a downpour with thunder and lightning mixed in for good measure. The storm lasted about 45 minutes and then the sky cleared and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset.
  
There was only about 7-8 minutes time between those pictures. It's amazing how much the sky can change in that amount of time.
