Hark! What Is This Wet Stuff Falling From the Sky?

Plaid Pants2 · ‎03-14-2015

IT'S RAINING!!!! Woo-hoo! :-) Northwestern California is getting some rain! We're supposed to get a quarter inch of it. I was so happy to see rain again, that I went outside, stretched out my arms, turned my face skyward, and let the drops bathe my face. The ground is so dry, that it'll soak up the water like a sponge, but at least it'll help the fire fighters, who are still working on puting out wild fires. In fact, if I listen really, really hard, I can almost hear them cheering.

Plaid Pants, I am not sure I would recognize rain nor would my brown front yard if I saw it. But I am so happy for you. I live near Sacramento and it's been so dry here as well as where you are.

Oh, drat! The rain has stopped. :-( It didn't last very long. Still, it was nice to get that little bit. Maybe it's an indication of what our fall and winter will be like. Maybe this is the beginning of the storm door being opened. As my mother use to say, "Just enough to settle the dust". At this point, a few drops are better than none. Maybe this was a preview of what's to come.

I bet it smells good outside.

It's raining here in western WA state . We are in a serious drought situation too and especially in the eastern part of the state. Horrendous wild fires going on. Hopefully they will get some rain too. but first high winds are forecast. Supposed to rain until next Friday too. Also heard that there will be a super, duper El Nino this year and from Ca down across the southwest and east, there will be torrential rains. We up here will be drier and warmer than normal---again!! Look up Godzilla El Nino.

Hi spud188! I have wondered about you, Are the fires close to you? I'm sure the smoke is. We have had it for about 10 days here, today we also are supposed to get those hard winds that I hate, I hope more fires don't get started and that it will rain. Cloudy here, and about three drops, lol. Pray for rain! Take care.

It poured last night and we had a football game. It rained at my house just west of the stadium and I was watching the game and just waiting for it to hit, 20 minutes later they delayed the game with 3:20 minutes left on the clock. At least we won. Go KC Chiefs!
