Re: OT rain!

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>)

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.

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.
