Woke up at 5 on Saturday to the sound of thunder. By 5:20 Bryant was in our room coaxing us to come see. He'd been up and watching the storm on the back porch for awhile. These are some of the pictures that James captured.
This one actually started a fire down along Columbia River Road.
Reilly Scribner took this one from her trampoline at sunrise when the sky was red.
Apparently, lightening killed 6 cows up on Birch road.
During the middle of the day, we all gathered around the TV to watch the first ever independant company shuttle launch. It was a go after they had to scrub the launch Wednesday due to weather.
The miracle of the day was
this. When Sariah and I went to milk Freeman’s goats this morning, she noticed that their dog Riley was nowhere to
be seen. I thought the lightening must
have scared it and it was hiding somewhere.
This afternoon, Bryant went to mow Robison’s lawn. He called and said that a dog had scared him,
but that he thought it was Riley and when he called it by name, it calmed right
down and came to him. So, Sariah, Hyrum
and I went up there with Freeman’s kennel and brought Riley back home the
several miles she had gone having never left their property before. The crazy thing is, Freeman’s put a collar on
her two days ago. It helped us to make
sure it was her and to hold onto her so she didn’t take off. The other crazy thing is that Bryant would be
going to the very place the dog was hiding several miles away, the only place
Bryant went all day. No doubt, God was
watching out in many different ways.
The kids were having fun on the trampoline as the second storm approached in the afternoon.

Bryant and I were sitting on the back porch enjoying the storm feel and smell when all of a sudden the rain hit. I told the kids that rain like that doesn't come too often to the Columbia Basin so we better go enjoy it. It didn't take long for us to get soaked!
