Last day of summer and at least we had some cloud cover to give relief from the heat. About midday the wind came up and I could see in the west that rain was falling. However I knew it would not be coming to us as the boys were still standing. If they cush to keep their spot dry, it is a good indication that we will get the rain. I watched the storm move down the west coast and then around to the south - could even smell the rain. On the news tonight the area south of us received heavy rain - some roofs had blown off and large trees had fallen down. 25,000 people were without power. 
Then I watched as another storm approached from the north - great clouds and a wonderful rainbow as it moved eastwards. Rumblings ensued well into the night, but no rain for us!
Despite the really hot days (over 20 consecutive days over 30 degrees), the pumpkin vines are thriving. They wilt during the day and then perk up each night when I water them. Lots of flowers and baby pumpkins.
