To bad that some states are flooding, even in northern Minnesota and the ones that really need it are burning up. I pray for rain to those who need it most. Love the picture today. joycephotography · 2012-06-27: 23:58

ah the irony- we're in desperate need of rain, so many fires I love the tone of this~ fabulously moody urmysunshine · 2012-06-28: 10:02

WOW!! Super photo! What a place to live! I washed my truck the other day and it rained a little bit. I may have to wash the car and see if that brings rain. After that I only have 2 quads ( 4 wheelers) to wash then I am out of vehicles. :) Thanks for all the positive thoughts and willing to give Colorado rain! It is much appreciated!
