We had a very exciting day yesterday. I was in town eating lunch with some special women when I got a text from my husband with this picture.
It was raining a ton in the mountains on either side of our valley but not IN the valley (yet). About an hour after I got home we could see the storm coming over the Slumbering Hills to the west of us.

It DUMPED rain for about 20 minutes and then cleared away. Joseph called me up and said I needed to go and look at the flash floods still coming off the Slumbering Hills. This one went right into the middle of one of our pivots cutting a trench right through it.
And this one was a bit further south.
One of the flash floods coming down the Slumbering Hills. #rain #farmlife #silverstatefarm

It’s amazing how powerful water can be!
I think that first picture, with the river streaming through the dry ground and then your green field, is so stunning. The river almost looks like it’s been there forever, but yet it’s so out-of-place. It must have been amazing to watch it!
