Then, Friday, we had the apocalyptic storm that knocked out our power for an entire day:

That was before the storm got really bad. It stormed like that, with full-on thunder and lightning, for about four hours, then just continued to rain and rain, until there was flooding all over the area.
Saturday, it was sunny and almost 100 degrees. The dog park, which has excellent drainage, was nonetheless still flooded in the morning. Dudley, who has no stamina in and no tolerance for the heat, found a neat way to cool off:

Today, the sun is out, but I just heard thunder in the distance. Yikes. Who knows what today will bring! I've got $5 on snow. Why not?
