Was wonderful wasn't!

Great pictures!1 I can feel the excitement and joy all the way up here.

Oh how fun and funny. Don't know which is cuter, the dog or the Bob pics!

Three hours and the rain is still coming down.

I'm so glad you got rain! We had a slow drizzle from daylight till about 3 pm. Things are lookin' up!
Jim

No rain here, but I can still be glad for you.

:D Happy for you here in Kyle's Desert.

Omar

Happy for you!

And, I'm gonna be just like Sport when we get a nice long real rain. Running around jumping for joy. ha.

Pictures are required, RC..

My rain guage shows we got 9/10 of an inch. It seemed like more. That brings the total up to about 3 1/2 inches since January. There's a chance we may get more.

I hope it was enough to help bring the level of the aquifer up. A lot of water was flowing down our street due to so many paved areas uphill, but what happens to it? Most of it gathers in creek beds (that's where the water on our street was heading), joins rivers and flows out to the sea. There should be a way to slow down the flow and let it sink in. And there is.

Bamburger Ranch has done a lot of hands on research in that area. By clearing out 'cedar' trees and planting native grasses, etc. on overgrazed dry land, creeks flowed that hadn't flowed for 50 or more years.

Read about it when you have a few minutes, and go visit if you ever get the chance.

Glad you enjoyed our happy/silly pictures :-)

Here is a link that might be useful: Bamberger Ranch ... read the first linked article on the site at least ...

OK, but I don't promise to be able to get as much "air" as Sport did.

Oh, so much joy and energy in those pictures!

That is one happy dog! Your DH is a total riot. How funny and how sweet!

Bob is the epitome of Mr. Nice Guy, as well as a fun and funny guy. He's always doing things for people; not just little things but BIG things -- building houses, fences, changing neighbor's door knobs, moving their furniture, installing their fans, toilets, and light fixtures; plus he's a great counselor when that's needed, and on and on. And his career before retirement was a desk job.

His latest little thing was pushing a lady's car that ran out of gas on HEBs parking lot. I thought he pushed it with HIS car. No, he pushed it by hand! Seventy five years old and he's pushing a car!!! He said it was only a few hundred feet over to the gas pumps, but really -- what a guy. We have a good life.

Do your best, RC. Just do your best. If you can't emulate Sport then you'll have to beat Bob's performance (if that is possible..) A bigger and pinker hat, perhaps?...

Omar

Well, white men can't jump... but I think I'll be better off trying that than trying to outdo Bob!

LOL! Well Richard, you could put more silk flowers on a bigger hat ... and wear more clothes ...hahaha!

Roselee, You and your DH are lucky to have eachother. My DH is a total sweetheart too. It's hard when other women are venting about thier DH and I have to resort to rehashing my ex-husband's stuff. Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I got :)

RC you can do it! Throw in a tu tu for good measure.

Omar, that is light red, not pink! lol.
