It has been more than 50 days since it rained at my house. The last rain we got was so light that I had to stand outside and feel the mist to tell that it was "raining." And that mist only lasted 5 minutes. It didn't even make the ground wet.
So you can imagine my joy, my rapture, my ecstasy when we came out of the YMCA to see rain--real, pouring, glorious rain! The kids and I ran through that amazing and glorious downpour to the car.
It rained for 40 minutes!! I was so excited that I took my umbrella and walked around the house to the garden in the rain to see the garden. I knew that rain would help my garden more than any efforts I made. I just wanted to actually see it rain in my garden. It rained today. In my garden. I am overjoyed. I could dance around the house!
See that? Rain!!
I am with you 100 percent on the drought this spring. We are experiencing the same thing in my area. We got a little bit tonight, but got more wind than rain it seems like.
ReplyDeleteKris, One of my Facebook friends read my post and told me that she was out eating lunch when the rain came down. She had not taken her umbrella, because she didn't believe it would really rain this year. They had to leave and she got all wet, but she felt like dancing in the rain she was so excited about it. That was my feeling too.
ReplyDeleteWe ended up getting a good bit of rain yesterday. It rained 40 minutes in one spell then about 30 more minutes and then again another hour or so. It was awesome!! The garden looks much better today, too, especially the green beans.
