Beth ... We have had three days of steady drizzling rain. I am on the other side of the valley and north of you, so it should be coming your way. The good news is that we got snow at the higher elevations. Yes, my garden is finally soaked. The fir trees and all the things I haven't watered are looking soooooo good. I cannot believe I have been out several times this winter watering roses while wearing snow boots and multiple layers of clothing. Now, I get to take some time off from that and stay inside. Ahhhhh bliss. Smiles, Lyn

OMG, I just got cola up my nose!! Thanks for the laugh Cindee, and I'm so glad you're getting rain! I've been through a few droughts, I know how it feels to look out and see the rain. Now, we're getting more snow here as I speak. I'm glad I've come to terms with it and realize how important it is as insulation for my perennials against the cold. Enjoy your rain and warm weather girl, and wiggle that half booty!

Our pool is almost to overflow. We got 3+ inches of rain, and it's still falling Sunday morning. I think it's because the clouds hit the big mountains around this area, and dump on us. raksha, go to the link below, type in your zip code. Then zoom close to recognizable streets, and you can get your exact zone. With so many micro-climates it's easy to pinpoint with the link!

We have water today all day finally! All us folks up here on the hill hollered and screamed and stomped our feet enough to rock the boat and made the water company folks get out and do their job. They went house to house and place to place looking at ground and in basements. They found 7 leaks mostly in folks basements and made enough repairs to keep pressure up high enough to reach our end. Of course the rain helped too. They have wells but don't have the equipment to filter it properly so epa or someone told them they were not allowed to use them until proper filtration was installed to removes excess iron and such so spring water is what we have.
