Series: Living in NOLA, part 4
I've said before that in the afternoons in the summer we have these weird storms where it rains like crazy, but it's still sunny. I wondered perhaps if the humidity just explodes in these instances.
Yesterday a sudden, loud crack of thunder sounded like that indeed was what had happened. The downpour that ensued was incredible. The drop were so huge that you could almost see each individual one. I highly recommend clicking on these thumbnail pictures so you can see what I mean. The drops were so huge, even my dinky, little camera could pick them out! The top picture is of the sky looking at the back of the house out my kitchen window. The colors were so fierce in real life.
The next picture is looking from our porch in one direction towards the west where the sun was especially gleaming. And this shot is looking at our street from the opposite direction, where our street intersects with Napolean and S. Broad. Despite the downpour, it didn't cool off any. It was such a freaky rain!

Yea, I love mulberries!! We used to eat them off of the trees in Iowa (I went to Cono). In fact, that's a mulberry tree in the first pic! (Did you notice that? Is that why you're asking me?) I don't know anything about the white ones. But I'm sure they're just as edible. I don't actually know anything about the trees except what they look like and that the berries are fine to eat.
MAA! I don't have ANY pics of Tday!! DO YOU!? WHy is it that I'm always the last one to get pics of anything?!?!!?
