...more like a drizzle, but we are happy for what we get. I wanted to go out on the driveway and do 'Dancing in the Rain"...

Glad for what ever comes down to wash some of the pollen out of the air and off everything it has accumulated on.

Hasn’t this rain been great?!?! It should green up the fairways for us that are still playing golf.

Refreshing considering all the dour news lately.....

I prefer a rainstorm, but this constant rain was nice, and the land could better soak up a gentle rainfall than a hard downpour.

I had the convertible out with the roof down all day yesterday Saturday, not a drop, guess it was a delayed reaction, fortunately I remembered to put the top up last night....

We've been here full time since January. Yes there had been two times since where there was a short, night time heavy shower, the all day rain on Sunday was a nice respite from the heat and sun.

We opened all our windows to let in the cool, fresh air.

I noticed our neighbors gutter was overflowing and let him know. He had a birdcage installed a few months ago, and the contractor apparently didn't checkout the downspout -- no hole in the gutter to let the water drain into the downspout!

So, folks, that daytime rain was an opportunity to make sure your drainage systems were ok.
