CHEERS! Happy WORDLESS WEDNESDAY ~ The RAIN GAUGE TELLS ALL!

After 41 days without rain, this picture tells all. 3.8" of rain in a matter of hours...that's about a month's worth.
The ranchers with pastureland and the forest rangers are happy (no red flag fire warnings) as are the gardeners. I slept throught the entire storm, so I was shocked when I looked I saw the numbers! I was expecting .80" !

  6. WOW! That's crazy! That's a lot at one time. I need to get me a rain gauge. We had one growing up, and it was a total obsession of my mom's. She would go out and check it ever MORNING.... even if it was just dew!

  7. That's a lot of rain! Don't you love when that happens? We had a lovely, gentle rain for several hours yesterday here at PITV. Quite wonderful after five straight dry weeks.
