First Day of School Storm

Today was the boys' first day of school. I thought I would be clever and beat them home and greet them at the bus stop - nope. They got out an hour early and JP picked them up. I came home to a houseful of boys all jumping up & down playing Dreamcast.

Everything went very well at school. The boys both like their teachers and everyone is glad to be back in a routine. JP enjoyed her first free day in the last eight years. Finally!

We had a beautiful storm tonight, complete with a wall cloud, blinding lightning, and a big green rain shaft. There were a couple tornadoes reported north of Lincoln, but all we got was a little less than an inch of rain and some freaky looking clouds. The panorama picture does not do justice to the enormity of the wall cloud. The picture spans 180° and was shot with a wide angle lens and still did not cover the top of the wall. I think if you click on it you will be able to see a larger version of it.
