OT rain!

We woke to the glorious sound of rain this morning in the
high desert of so cal. It is a foreign sound. Rain has
been rare here. We need it so desperately. Hopefully
it is not so hard that hillsides in the recent fire areas
are sliding. Rain is such a wonderful sound when it has
been so long away.

We have grey skies and I feel like death warmed over G..... the storm
is moving in. They are anticipating more rain in the next couple of
days here in Arizona than in the last several months combined. The
northern part of Arizona is over 8" below normal precipitation amounts
for the year, we are about 4" below normal, so we really need the rain
too.

Congratulations, Taria! Rain has been just as rare here, and I'd have
loved to have waked up to the same thing this morning. We have a little
predicted for later or tomorrow, but hope isn't very high.

Wonderful news! May the gentle rains continue - both in CA & southwestern
states AND in the Southeastern states!

It sure is. Makes the air smell wonderful too.

May the rain fall slow and steady throughout your day today.

How wonderful! Unfortunately for us here in the Midwest, that same storm
system will probably be bringing us a winter storm. Snow alone would not
be so bad, but the prediction is also for sleet and freezing rain. That
means very bad driving conditions and possibly power lines going down.

I take it back! I take it all back! It's raining! It's pretty cold,
compared to what we're used to -- only about 45° right now. But it's
raining!

Woohoo for you Sandy. I learned the roofer did not properly
flash a skylight. There is a nice mark on the family room ceiling.
Wouldn't you know there is nobody answering the phone at the
roofing co.? The really stinky part of the thing is the old
roof never once leaked. The brand new one does. That just seems
wrong.
ENjoy the rain while you can. The birds even look happy here.

We are socked in and getting a good soaking here in the Valley. (Not
currently the Valley of the Sun....G ) It was very wet to load the car
leaving CostCo just a bit ago... and most of the stuff will wait in the
car until the drizzle is a bit less. sigh. But we really need the rain.
(Gotta keep telling myself that....... I think I may go put on dry
clothes and lay down for a while. After I take some mega dose of
Ibuprofen.....VBG)
