Last night's thunderstorm: amazing!

California is normally lightening-free, but last night we had a
spectacular thunderstorm with all kinds of lightening and thunder and
torrential rain.

At 5pm we went outside in a light rain (no biggie) to get the goats
from the pasture to the milking shed. By the time we had the goats
out, it started raining in buckets! With wind! And hail! We galloped
at full speed down the hill. No resistance from the goats who usually
stop and look every 10 steps. We were completely soaked when we got to
the milking shed. Back home after milking and putting the goats in
their cozy dry stall, we barely shut the door and put the filtered
milk into mason jars in the freezer when we heard the rumble of
thunder. Shortly after the carbon dioxide monitor squealed and the ups
power backups chirped as all the lights flicked off. Yay! Candles! It
was a cozy stormy evening.
