"Yeah, so what?" you're probably thinking. For us, it's a really big deal. We haven't had any rain since mid-August. That's almost 2 months ago! We're down over 12 inches of precipitation for the year. In fact, we have officially been labeled as in "extreme drought". There's only one level worse than that.
I was thrilled to see the wet ground when I got up this morning. The air was cool and refreshing. I swear that my lawn and plants were singing their happiness to me! Not that I haven't been watering them, because I have. It's just that water from the hose doesn't seem to make the plants as happy as rain water. I think I'd like to buy a rain barrel to collect the rain water.
We must have had a really good rain during the night, because here it is, a little after noon, and the ground is still wet. So is my wooden privacy fence. It's a sunny, breezy day and, YAHOO!!!, the ground is still wet!! And, it's only going to be in the upper 80's today! What a glorious day!! It's such a glorious day that I've decided to take some more pictures of things in my yard, even though I haven't finished my landscaping plans. I'm going to share with you what I have accomplished so far and what I still want to do. To see the pictures, click here.
