Rain, rain, glorious rain fell last night and this morning. According to my strictly scientific rain gauge (an empty five gallon bucket left out in the middle of the yard) we got almost three inches last night. Some of it was pretty heavy rainfall but nothing appears damaged. A few things laid over but were easily put back upright. Everything is so green and the air actually smells fresh for a change. Can't even smell the wood smoke from the Mexican fires today. I think I'm gonna go sit on the patio and admire the gardens, and the grass, and the - aw heck, it's still hot out there. George, doing the happy dance with the dawg
