The rain is finally here!!!

This may be hard to understand for our Swedish family... but boy has it been a long hot summer.

This last week, the heat has finally broke and today we got our first big rain storm (from Canada the weather people tell us).



I'm not sure this picture does it justice... but we had some real dark rain clouds and a good amount of rain coming down. We closed up the green house to keep the heat in.


Here the rain was coming down pretty strong... But as you'll see in the next photo, it sure didn't last long. Literally about 2 hours later we had blue skys.





The weather people talked about this storm for days... what a total let down!

On a positive note, our new house didn't have gutters long the back and side of the house and it didn't have any proper drainage for the water. We just completed the work of getting new gutters and drainage about 8 hours before the storm came. Ah... what timing!
