Rain...Glorious Rain!!...

We finally got some good rain.  The most since June.

We got almost three inches here.  Most of it was in the middle of the night.  So, although I did get up to look at it, there were no photos of the glorious water falling from the sky.

It rained VERY hard, for about thirty minutes.  Then eased off to a nice steady rain.

You can almost hear the trees sigh in relief.

It will take much more than one good rain, to bring things back from this.  Some of it will not be coming back.  More hardscape is in the plans for the future.

But, for now, we'll rejoice in what we got.



I hope you got what you needed, too.

Happy Gardening...

A Little Relief....

We lucked out yesterday.  We got a little more than a quarter inch of glorious rain.
The last storm that blew through only gave us noise, lightning and wind. 
Dry lightning has been blamed for yet another large wildfire.  We don't need that.

Today it feels a bit more like fall.  A 'cold' front has blown in.

The weather forecasters say this could mean the end of the triple digit temperatures.  Let's all hope they've got it right.
Three full months of this heat has been ENOUGH!

I hope some of you got rain, too....although it was a bit patchy.

Maybe things are looking up.

Have a great weekend.

What's That, You Say?...

There's a cold front coming?

When?

Are you sure about that?

Ah....no more triple digit degrees......

Some nice cool nights....

Will it be a good thing, Mommy?

Woo Hoo!!!  You bet it'll be a good thing, Kid.

This is gonna be NICE!

Now, if we can just get some rain.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day.

Happy Gardening...
