Early in the day we got .25" - not much, but it was the first rain in 2 weeks.
Then, while out shopping with Mom, another larger storm hit and it had a bigger punch!
I now have 5 full barrels of rainwater. Could've been 6 if I'd gotten home sooner.
But this morning, outside, overcast, warm and MOIST air. What a breath breath of fresh!
Total - 1.7" for the day. Yowzah!
Happy happy joy joy. What a lift to the spirit.
Ah, congrats on the rain.
ReplyDeleteWe were down in Dubuque and they got FIVE INCHES. And a whomping good storm, to boot.
Came home to 1/2 inch in the gauge. Bah.
Perhaps I might borrow a pinch??
Oh, and the DEER busted through my blockade and slaughtered the phlox, hollyhocks, sunflowers and asters. I won't print the word I'm thinking on your lovely blog, but YOU know what I'm thinking...........
Aw dammit! I am so sorry to learn this. :-( All the ash and pine trees around here are dying from disease, why the heck can't the f*cking (it's my blog, so I can say it) deer catch something!! I cry with you, honey. I cry.... *hugs*
DeleteGreat rain! glad you got it at last.
