Sunday night a violet thunderstorm dumped 92mm of rain. Another 18mm last night. And today another 30mm! And there is another storm starting right now! My plants sure are happy now!

All that rain and no rain dance required. Nice to hear that you have joined the "Rainy Day" club Netty.

I got 1/2 inch this morning and could use another 2 inches in a nice all day shower! Should get some more on Wed. it's supposed to be a better chance than today.

It looks as though our rain has, finally, found somewhere else to go. We've actually had three whole days of sunshine for a change.

Ooo, I'm jealous, Netty.
We've got heat and humidity  and there are scattered showers in the forecast
but, so far, they seem be "scattering" all around us while we stay dry.

Wow, thats a lot of rain! We are so low lying we would have floods everywhere with so much so fast. We need rain, but maybe not that much in so few days.
