something amazing

Something amazing happened the other day! When I got home from work, there were all these WET spots in the yard and on the deck and in the driveway... like actual PUDDLES and stuff. What was this mysterious reflective liquid?

I could see the trees and sky by looking DOWN at my deck! This is quite a phenomenon in the middle of August, in the middle of Texas.

The cannas were looking simultaneously fiery and dewy.

And their leaves sported an exquisite sprinkling of diamonds.

It may not have been enough to make a dent in the drought, but this little rain shower did wonders to quench a thirsty spirit.
