I am really, really happy that it is raining. Did I say I was happy? We are in a drought now. They have put us on water restriction. We can only water our grass and such once a week. I can just imagine all the plants and flowers cheering and singing Mother Natures praise for sending the rain our way. I do so hope that we get enough rain to do us some good.

@HazySue I hope they do. Its cloudy here and cooler than it has been. I'm guessing I should water gardens cause if we get rain it will be just a tease.

Hope you get that rain you need. We got enough to get out of the drought we had been in for several years.

I am glad to hear that you are no longer in danger of a drought this year. We got a little rain but not enough to matter.

@HazySue Still raining, rain again today. The whole state is in drought advisory is an improvement from a drought watch, we are still asked to use 10% less water than normal.

When we had a water restriction I saved the bath water to use in our garden. It was a task to lug buckets of water out to the garden, but it worked.

I certainly hope you got the right amount of rain that you needed. We drove through some rain yesterday, and we are supposed to have some today. I love your photograph.

@HazySue I don't mind rain, but I would like it to just rain at night and not mess up my daytime!

We only ended up having about an hour of rain. It was enough for the day but we were dry the next one.

Sounds good Susan. The rain will bless you with some much needed water and replenishment.

That seems quite early for you to be on summer water restrictions? We have plenty of water here in winter NZ!

We have had a dry year. It worries me that we have a water restriction before summer has really started.

It rained for about an hour. The plants were thrilled but boy do we need a whole lot more of it.
