I got 2.5 inches!!! Which means I won't have to drag hoses and set up sprinklers for a while. In fact I was taking a break from work to check on the sprinklers when I felt the first drop of rain. It does mean that I will have to mow the grass some day soon. The only good thing about being dry is that the grass doesn't grow as fast.

Hi John, Finally , a break, from those hoses.

I was also eyeing "emily" in the atlantic for rain bearing messages.. The earlier one just fizzled out:-( . Hope EMILY is gentle, yet rain bearing... We can still get a decent harvest in september..

And thank god! I've been in Georgia visiting sisters I haven't seen in 20 years and without this rain my garden would have died. Especially the fledgling cucumber plants.
