I had like 100 drops on my windshield on the way home today.  Nothing to write home about.

I think I'm going to have to do a rain dance.....

Not quite that bad here in southcentral PA, but this May placed in the top 10 driest ever - only 1" of rain.  Should have had 4".

My lawn was beautiful until about two weeks ago - looks like a coconut fiber pot.

We might get an isolated storm today, and maybe scattered storms tomorrow.  At this point, I'll take a storm as long as its not severe, it could knock the lights out at work though then I could come home that wouldn't make me mad at all.

Kim, your dance drew Barry's attention and has given us nearly a whole day of light rain, Which we needed but it could have done it during the week and not the weekend.

Today it got windy, heard the thunder and the sky got dark.  We didn't get a single drop!   >:(-  But 3 miles down the road it was pouring, go figure.

3 1/2  inches of Glorious rain Saturday thanks to "Barry" the God sent tropical storm.... it was absolutely wonderful to hear it, see it, and smell it.......... almost forgot how it was...............

Toads loved the rain so much that they had them a "Love-In" in the pond...... they had eggs everywhere and weren't through when I went out there early this morning........ Grabbed the net and removed 15 toads (1 "Love-In" fatality....drowning victim) and finaly stopped when I realized the herd was coming back to the pond and jumping back in "Piggy-Back"..... the fish will again love the toadscargoe this year.

Good grief, the weather is wacky!!!  We've had a drought for the past three or four years, and this year it has done nothing but rain so far!   :o  We haven't even been able to till and plant the garden.   >:(-

We ended up getting 1 more shower this afternoon, it poured for about 15 minutes.  Then tonight, lightning, thunder and.......about a 5 minute down pour.  I'm not complaining though, its a start.

How is it there GAjen?

 @O@ @O@ @O@ We just had a storm and we got 1 inch here  @O@ @O@ @O@

Some areas got hit really hard with 4.5" hail.  We didn't get any hail but dag, that's what baseball size.  I was watching the radar, I've seen purple on it several times on the hail tracker but there was a huge area in black, said it was the hail core.

Ok, its time to do the dance again.  We haven't had any more rain since that 1 inch June 5th.  The yards are getting brown, just trying to keep up watering the flowers is a chore.

Hey Momma Nature, we need some rain.  :raining:, I said Hey Momma nature can you hear me.
