Growing Up Country

No big adventures today... Had another round of thunderstorms this morning which provided 0.22" of rain. I took this quick panorama of the storm as it moved into east Topeka.


An evening at home brought out a large number of dragonflies, likely numbering in the dozens in the sky. No pictures as they were constantly flying around, but from the ones we've seen the common whitetail skimmer seems to be most prevalent. And as far as the title of tonight's post, the youngest certainly was enjoying his cowboy hat this evening!
