  1. Wonderful! It's supposedly coming our way too, nice and steady, just what we need (no rain in our area of NC for almost 6 weeks) but I'm not seeing much movement heading east on the radar map right now.

  3. We haven't gotten nearly that much in Tupelo but I'm SO appreciative for what we have gotten! It's been a difficult summer for my plants!

  4. Nothing compares to a Monet, Phillip, but getting much needed rain is pretty darn close.

    Send some on up our way, won't ya ? A pretty dry August and September here.

  6. I am so happy for you!! Your garden will look so perky in the morning. I am just green with envy. It has cooled down here by about 20 degrees but still no rain. Seeing this makes me hopeful.

  7. How fabulous! Hope it gets to my garden before the well goes dry.
    Also some cooler temps would be welcome.

  8. Yes, we finally got rain, too. I can hardly believe how quickly the plants revived with the first rain shower.
