Rain, finally

Yesterday we finally got some rain after all these weeks. I don't think it was enough to lift the county wide burn ban we're currently under, but at least it did rain a little. It even thundered for awhile, which gave me hope that we would get a long downpour.

In fact, at 4:15 PM yesterday, it got so dark out that our security light in the front yard came on! Of course, then I worried we'd have a very bad storm. That didn't happen, thank goodness. We live in an area where tornadoes are common year 'round, so you can see why I'd be a bit skittish.

And do you know what I hear now? Rain! Yes, it's raining again this morning, which is very good news!
