It's finally RAINING! Real rain, not just a teasing drizzle, but big, fat, drenching drops that run off roof tops and soak the clay and accumulate in dehydrated streams and lakes and reservoirs. It has been months since we've seen real rain and there is so much celebration going on. The governor yesterday asked all North Carolinians to cut their water consumption in half. This rain will not solve our severe drought, but it will help our trees and flowers.
Having grown up in Michigan, I have always appreciated a good dramatic storm (provided I didn't have to drive in it!), but I have never wanted rain as much as I have this summer.
