We finally got some rain Monday and Tuesday. Actually a lot of slow and steady rain! - 3 1/2 inches. Considering we've only received 2 inches of rain in the last 3 months, it was wonderful. You could amost hear our garden screaming THANK YOU.
Another bonus is that the lake where I sail came up about 2 feet. Another storm like this one could fill it up. It hasn't been full since March. Hopefully hurricane Gustav will come our way next week.
