Last night, we had a spectacular thunderstorm roar through our little corner of the world. I don't remember the winds as being too bad, but the rain was apocalyptic. The deluge pretty much denuded our crabapples, which had been in all of their blooming glory.
As we were leaving this morning, I noticed this scene in our neighbor's yard. I had to stop to photograph it. Kate was in a hurry, but I had to. I'll never see again, in my lifetime, the combination of freshly mowed grass, new mulch, early morning sun, and a carpet of crabapple petals.
Until next spring.
