I had a beautiful day to work outside! At one point I was filling water into the koi pond by putting fresh water into the bog, and noticed these two frogs. The one is a bullfrog, biggest one I've seen so far, maybe the one that was croaking, not sure, and the other one is maybe 1/3 the size of the bullfrog.

Then before I was able to start watering the flowers, I could hear thunder to the west, and this is what I saw coming my way looking towards my front yard.

And then about 10 minutes later (I got all my tools, etc. put away in a hurry), this picture was taken out my back yard.

It rained a nice shower, could have used less wind at the beginning, but I think the new flowers and plants (and grass from Addy -- THANKS!!!) sure appreciated the nice soaking they got.
Hope everyone else had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!
