How about that?
When I went out early this morning to take the garbage dumpster to the street, I saw dark skies and a few raindrops on my driveway.
A bit later, as I sat by the window next to my computer, I saw a slightly more intense rain falling for a couple of hours.
Here's the proof.
SWMBO says when a puddle forms in our back yard that means we've had some mentionable rain.
You may note that I mention the rain nearly every time we get more than a few drops.
We live in Arizona!
Rain is rare here.
We only get a few inches of it in an average year.
So humor me.
It's a rainy day.
I said it and I'm stickin' with it.
Hip, Hip, Hooray!
ReplyDeleteWe've got snow on the ground here.
ReplyDeleteRain that makes a puddle is a decent amount and worthy of mention. Measurable precip.
ReplyDeleteSend sone of that rain over here to the California central coast.
ReplyDeleteWhoot!
ReplyDeleteWe're expecting a whole week of rain here. I like the puddle you got there.
ReplyDeleteOooo.... that usually means we'll get rain soon as well!
ReplyDeleteYou are my favorite harbinger.
Better rain than snow!
ReplyDeleteI grew up on the prairies of Montana, where rain was a special. As kids, we'd go out and dance in it and sing rain songs. We moved from there to Seattle and I was able to transfer my excitement about rain to the constant winter drizzle in Seattle. Fifty years later I still love the rain here.
ReplyDeleteSusan, I grew up on the prairies of northwestern North Dakota!
ReplyDeleteRain is to be celebrated! We had a bit today, then some snow. Not enough yet to be a nuisance.
ReplyDeleteYou've been waiting a long time. Anticipating. Whether by design or happy accident, you were prepared to catch that rain in a puddle! The tools of the capture are right there in the picture.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great change of pace. It was rainy and grey all day yesterday. I enjoyed it.
