For Just a Few Minutes It Looked Like Niagara Falls!

Only moments ago I heard the throb of thunder.  I suspected precipitation soon to follow.  Then . . . It Looked Like Niagara Falls outside.  I checked the rain gauge.  Within 10 to 15 minutes we had .5 inches of rain!  And coincidentally the temperature dropped as well from 83 to 73 degrees in about the same time period.

It has slacked off pretty much now.  I'm not sure if more will follow, but we'll take it!  (Ha!  What choice do we have???)

Nonetheless, I'm so grateful for the rain!!!  Hooray!  And I'm so grateful for the cooler temperature, too!

How's your weather where you're located?  Share how quickly it's changed, or how long you've been blessed/endured whatever circumstances you've had placed on your plate!

And Then It Poured

Yesterday morning we woke to the blessed sound of heavy rain.  I don't exactly recall the last date that we had rain--a week or so ago--though it was minuscule.  But yesterday, we received the mother-load.  Before the day was out, we had 4 inches in the rain gauge.

I am SO GRATEFUL for the blessed rain!!!!!!!  And cooler nights, to boot!  Our poor grass was getting crunchy it's been so hot and dry for so long--even though we've tried to water.  Now it looks green and fresh and not nearly so thirsty!  So happy are we . . .
