Pastel sunset

The evening sky was filled with the most delicate colors when we were last at Smith Lake.  Soft yellow, peach, baby blue and lavender were delightfully scattered across the sky a few minutes after the sun set behind the gathering rain clouds.

The following day we received a good all-day soaking.  Three inches of rain had fallen by the time we checked the rain gauge in the evening.  The lawns had been getting quite dry, so it was a welcome rain.  It was an excellent day to complete a few indoor activities that we had been ignoring, and enjoy some family time.
