A Rainy Greeting

This morning when I woke it was pouring rain, and very dark.
The days are certainly getting shorter the past couple of weeks, and a rainstorm doesn't help any.
We are so very dry here, in such a drought, the rain is very welcome here. And that is a good thing because it looks like it will be here for a bit.
It will be nice to see the lawns green and lush again.

We do welcome rain here too as long as it's not too heavy and it's not a typhoon. We are still suffering from the el niño phenomenon. It is said to last until August.

@AmbiePam It is.
Grandpa will still go over and watch them from when they get up in the mornings, so that Dad and Mom can start working, and then he can bring them next door to the neighbour's home.
I will do the end of the day and stay with them for 20 minutes or so until Daddy finishes working.

I am sorry that it is so hot there.
We are in a nice spell, but it is still muggy.
We received good news today about the new school year for the girls.
There is a school bus that comes into the neighbourhood (they border on the country) and they changed the pick up to about a block away from them. They will have a side street to cross, but the neighbour girl goes to their school and is in grade 8 and she offered to look after them and get them to and from the bus stop each day. Isn't that generous of her?

It's just as dark and dreary here today as we have a day of rain too. If it wasn't hot outside I'd swear it was the middle of January with the dreariness. We're supposed to get severe thunderstorms later today but I'm hoping they bypass us. I'll take the rain but no thanks to the severe part

That's one good thing about all these storms we have been having here. It has really helped with the drought.

Hi Julia
I have indeed noticed that the days have become shorter
Summer is passing very quickly
We got quite a lot of rain today which is really good news for gardeners and farmers
And for me too as I could not continue to paint fences whilst it poured with rain
Yayforme
