RAIN!

Praise the Lord! IT IS RAINING!! The first wave rolled through Little Town about 3am. And my, what a thunderstorm it was. Daisy was already in the house but I knew I'd better check for Simba and Gray Cat. I barely got the front door open and Simba bulleted past me looking for cover. I hollered for Gray Cat between claps of thunder and gave up after about 10 minutes. Lo and behold, as soon as I went back to bed I heard "MMMMEEEEOOOOWW" at the door. And there stood a very drenched and very pissed Gray Cat. All three cats took refuge UNDER my bed for the duration of the storm.

At 8:00 this morning, my stepmother reported 3/4" and the ranch got 0.83". The general report in town was an inch. I'm sure the gauges are filling back up with the latest round of showers. The earth is certainly drinking its fill in and around the county. We have had rain off and on since about 1pm and it is absolutely wonderful! (RK, sorry you are having internet problems.)

We've been under a statewide burn ban for quite a while now but I suspect we'll see smoke signals on the horizon as soon as the rain dissipates. GLORY BE! LET IT RAIN!!
