When It Rains, It Hails!

As much as I love a good summer thunderstorm, I am not all that fond of the hail!

I am beginning to wonder though if the thunderstorms here in Rapid City come minus the hail.

I can't help but think of the saying 'it never rains in Southern California, it pours!'. Growing up in Southern California I can vouch for the accuracy of that statement. 

Maybe Rapid City's summer weather statement should be 'It never rains in Rapid City, It hails!'

What are your favorite things about your cities Down Town area?

Falls Park

During my recent visit to Sioux Falls I headed to my favorite photo spot, Falls Park. 

After all the snow the area got last winter I was rather surprised to see the river so low. Although I was reminded that there had been a drought the previous year.

 The Queen Bee Mill ruins make the perfect setting for a bit of theater. Here the Bare Bodkins Theater Company is wrapping up a performance of Romeo & Juliet.
