This is unbelievable! The weather forecast was for "scattered thunderstorms" all day long, something like 20% chance. Well, three hours ago, it began raining, and I'm guessing that the 20% is parked right over my house! It has let up a few times to a drizzle, but it hasn't quit. Thankfully, most of it is a good soaking rain, so it is very beneficial. I haven't seen any runoff. whew. The rain gauge has about .3 inch. 3/10 of an inch rain ÷ 3 hours = soaking all my plants. Yesssssssssssssss.
The best things is that it isn't thundering any more. When it first began, jazi, who is afraid of thunder was a quivering mess. Now that it is merely raining, she is fine. Poor girl.
Now the weather report says we are going to be at 40% to 65% chance of rain and storms from now, all through the night. I hope I don't float away!
These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................
Yeah for the rain. Hope all your hard work doesn't float away but grows great guns with the fresh rain.
ReplyDeleteYaaaaay for the rain. I have blueprint plans for an ark if your interested.
ReplyDeleteI love the rain. I'm lucky to have a dog who isn't afraid of thunder. Our last one was. Poor Jazi. --Cheryl
ReplyDeleteMJ, I don't think there's a worry about that. It was a nice gentle rain.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Bobbie, thanks, I'll keep that in mind!
Cheryl, Jazi isn't nearly as bad as my last "thunder-struck" dog. He absolutely would tear things apart out of his fear. I'm SO glad she isn't that afraid.
YAY!!!! I sat outside in a storm and just got soaked, it felt so good.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful, Julie? Igot nearly a half inch yesterday. Perfect. It all soaked in, I think! I understand why you woujld soak it up like that. We've both had long, dry spells.
