Finally! RAIN!

But, unfortunately, a huge thunderstorm went through last night, 'downing' many plants in the garden, and right back to high temperatures and humidity. The large amount of rain was welcome, we badly needed it, but was hoping for a cool down.
This picture was to the west, a very angry looking dense cloud coming through just ahead of the downpour.

When will the weather co-operate???


Well, I have over 25 varieties and colours of daylilies in bloom and they are lovely right now. However, I just want to track...!
I hoped this morning to get out early enough with Tank and Blast, into N.Bay for just a couple of short tracks. No luck..already getting too humid and knew it wouldn't work. Instead took Trust in, figured I could just make her happy doing a short one, as part of the plan was also for Kira to go into Cdn. Tire. At least that worked out well, we "did" the store and met a few small kids and it was very worthwhile. She searched on top of, and between things, and had a good time.
Went back to do Trusts' track, was hot and humid so quickly, so just left her collar on and 6' leash and hoped she'd be able to do it quickly. She did, she was great, and a lot in paved parking area, just glad it wasn't blazing sun.
Never had such a long spell of such hot and humid weather with no break. Tough on all of us. Just want to track...

Walking at Dusk..

Kira looks like a little devil dog racing towards me on the driveway. Left this walk a little late, and luckily didn't run into anything scary!The "lookout" before heading along the forest trail.Blast turns purple at dusk to scare off the forest creatures!
