Monsoon?

It's a nice day today, not as infernally hot as it usually is .Sky looked like it could even give us some rain.......



I love when it's stormy...I even heard thunder!So with the possibility of an amazing monsoon hitting ,I decided to use the oven and bake something...I ended up making some stuffed bell peppers...




So,no rain for us...the clouds turned around and left,but the peppers tasted delicious!
