Actually, we had a LOT of rain yesterday morning!
This "puddle" wasn't here when I walked the dog at 6:30 am

Wow! Now I know where our rain went. 
The moss is dry here and looks like you will start growing it. We've had no rain in 50+ days, and our temperatures are warmer than our usual comfy 70 degrees.
Guess you didn't need to water the garden.

You ought to put up a sign that says "No fishing, swimming or boating" LOL
Last month was really wet for us, I saw mushrooms popping up where Ive never seen any before!

WOW to the puddle  . That is a LOT of water. WOW to CC -- no rain in 50 days.... 
On the other hand, that is a beautiful picture -- I love the feel of it. Is that your daughter in her cute pink boots!?

We've had a lot of rain this week, but yesterday's was torrential. All of my Petunia blooms looked like they were shredded and thank goodness I had thought to stake my taller plants the day before!
Yes, that is my daughter, Ivy, in the pink boots. She's 5 and loves nothing better than jumping in puddles with her boots on
