RAIN and boy do we need it. Hope we get alot, but probably won't Our farmers are quite concerned--already 3 brush (field) fires, ban on all burning, really dry fields and they are starting to plant and it is so dry. Very little snow this winter, and what we did get was dry--no moisture.

Guess having my car washed helped!!!

    That was the magic trick marie.

    I'm glad you got some rain. I fret when I don't get rain for my flowers, but that's such a minor thing compared to what the farmers go through.

    We've had relentless rain lately, but if it does the same as the past few years we may go the whole summer without a drop. Either last year or the year before that we had a shower June 15 and the next rainfall in our neighborhood was late September. Whichever year it was, the other summer was similar and so was the one three years ago.

    Foliage is thriving, here, after severe draught this past year.

    Yeah!

    I on the other hand say: Dratted rain, it's all wet here, with standing water.

    I wish, rain and snow, wind and sun would be easy to share with others as needed.

    Yesterday we had a bunch of rain, after we already had two days and most of the night rain.

    My back yard is a HUGE puddle again.

    Moni... who would prefer a bit of sunshine today.

    Send some of that rain our way, please! We had predictions for rain yesterday and it drizzled enough to get my car wet, but that was all.

    The 24" snowfall we just had this past weekend was very wet and heavy, so that should help somewhat. But there is nothing like a good long rain, though.

    WOW Marie! I didn't expect you to send it so soon! I just heard noise and walked to the front door and we are getting rain, real rain, not drizzle! It's only been 8 minutes since my request! That's fast working! *S*

    Supposed to be rain here tonight, turning to 5-10" of snow. We just had 8" of snow earlier this week. ENOUGH already!!!

    We live in Central Indiana and have a home in Southern Indiana. We have had so much rain. Over the Easter weekend we had so much flooding in the south. Our home is located outside of French Lick, Indiana. The business part of town was so badly flooded. Our home out of town sits up on a hill. The neighbor man said we had 2 cars parked up in our drive and the water was up to the windows. The water was up to within 6 inches of the bottom of the stop sign at the corner. We have never seen water this high before. My hubby went down later on in the week and it still looked like a lake across the road. We have had more then enough rain...

    We've gotten record amounts of rainfall for this time of year in my area. It's greatly appreciated, though, because last year was a bad rain year, even in the rainy season. I only hope it doesn't do like it did last year, and stop raining in about June when it's really hot.

    My yard is getting way out of control already, and it usually takes until June! I have to try to mow the grass today.

    I do wish it were possible to share the bounty of rain some of us have been getting. I could share 40 to 50% and we'd still be no where in drought conditions.
