WOW ! What a storm

Man!!... a storm came through last night that must have lasted 30-45 minutes. Plenty of lightning and thunder. Woke both kids up. I knew it must have been loud when "mini-fem" (copyright latencyproject) woke up. She usually sleeps through a train wreck. I looked out my bedroom window and the storm drain in the back yard looked like a swimming pool. I don't know how much rain I got, but I would guess 1 inch. It was crazy. Didn't bother me though, I like storms.

I also have a couple of pictures from Halloween and the yearly "leaf" pickup.
