As I mentioned before, it has been over 60 days since we had any rain here. We had one day where we got maybe 5 minutes of sprinkles but that dried up quickly.
Last night we were watching television and my husband said, "Is that rain I hear?" And, Yes, it was! It rained pretty hard for at least an hour. The ground was still a bit wet this morning. It was so dry, the rain just sank right in to the hardened soil.
I am hoping that we get some more in the next couple of days. It is nice to be able to skip watering the garden!
Is your area experiencing a drought or are you in a heavy rain pattern where you live?

@kareng We got in the house from shopping and the rain started falling. We only have a 10% chance of rain today.

We get intermittent ran that is not good as whatever we keep for drying needs to be brought in so many times in the day

@kareng I want that rain but it must behave and not rain for a while and then stop and repeat this process throughout the day (lol)

We need rain badly. Hubs hasn't watered our expensive landscaped flower garden; and I'm afraid everything is going to die. Please send some rain if you have any extra! Have a good day.

Here in north Florida we’ve been going through bouts of wet and dry weeks. Our normal summer weather pattern is afternoon thunderstorms every day, but it hasn’t been that way this summer. We’ll go a week of solid rain, followed by a week of no rain, back to a week of rain, and so on. It’s been an interesting summer to say the least. We just came out of a dry week when we got a good soaking yesterday.

@moffittjc When I worked for the State at Buildings and Grounds, it never failed. The afternoon rainstorm would hit at 3:55 to 3:58. We could not clock out until 4:00 and always got drenched running to our cars.

@kareng I used to know exactly what time of day it was when the afternoon storms hit. You could set your watch by it. Nowadays, you never know what you’re going to get each day.
