Last Thursday's tiny amount of rain made us all in garden world so happy.

For years I worked in the restaurant world. We did not have air conditioning in most places.

While Monday's rain was not nearly enough, it was a welcome relief.

We have not had measurable rain in more than a month.

I was all set to complain about the heat and humidity when I heard on NPR this morning about the heat wave in western Europe.

Over the past week we've had a series of beautiful days.

Wouldn’t it be fun if every couple of nights we could get a nice soaking rain like last Monday?

The beginning of the week favored us with a couple of fabulous weather days.

That was some rain on Monday morning. I was so happy.

As I write this on Tuesday evening, I am ever hopeful that we actually get the rain predicted.
