We got rain! Lots and lots of lovely rain.
Even the birds were singing the trees, as the rain whispered through the small buds on the branches.
And I…I was that good wife, who let Terry go out at nine o’clock of the evening, in the roar of the storm to change the water ONE last time. He graciously told me to stay inside, that it wouldn’t take him long.
He came in a drowned rat…but ever so excited about the depth of moisture in the soil.
The wind blew the clouds away around five o’clock this morning…leaving us with that perfect mix of fresh air, fresh sky, blessed plants and earth from RAIN!
From my world to your heart,

I’m glad you got some much-needed rain. That’s even better than water arriving through the canal.

yeah: “it” started, slowly, at about sunset — and got more and more intense ’til a big thunderstorm (thunder, lightning, heavy WIND) came thru’ at about 3 or 4 a.m. — Betty slept thru’ it (!) while I (mostly) enjoyed it ~ biggest/most rain in a while for these parts ~

I suspect we got your rain of yesterday today. It probably took 18-24 hours for it to cross the state. We’re happy in the front range, even if it was just a little rain/snow. Every little bit counts.

Was that all the rain that did NOT fall here? It was in the news for days, and we even got flood warnings for Friday and Saturday, and then nothing happened. We got a bit of good rain, especially in the Santa Clara Valley, but it was not as voluminous as predicted. We were cheated!
