OT It's really raining!
It's raining! there are puddles of water on the ground.
And the sky is black with more rain clouds. Oh the joyous sound of rain on the roof!! Of course it is also freezing cold - literally. We are a few weeks out from the start of summer and it snowed above 600m last night and I had frost (30F) the night before - but it IS raining. Everything smells different. Maybe from this we will get enough grass for the farmers to feed their stock for a week or two. And farm tanks and dams may fill at least until Christmas. Despite the COLD there are people standing in their doorways just watching the rain fall. It's a beautiful dark cloudy windy cold WET day here!!!! I may make a cup of tea and just sit and watch the water fall from the sky. Please - let it continue. -- Cheryl & the Cats in OZ o o o o o o ( Y ) ( Y ) ( Y ) Enness Boofhead Donut http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest catsatararatATyahooDOTcomDOTau |

Update was It's really raining!
Well it's not raining anymore. It's hailing.
Still the hail will melt, so we are grateful for water in any form.

Well it could be 30C by Sunday. You know what they say
about Melb - we don't have weather, we have climate. If you don't like the weather when you look out the window just wait five minutes! Have fun with the meet-up.

We have been having rain this week too. It started raining Sunday night
and lasted most of Monday. Today was clear and beautiful. I love the day after it rains. Everything looks and smells good. Tamara CATS wrote: It's raining! there are puddles of water on the ground.

Wonderful! I will rejoice and happy dance and share a cup of tea with you
while we watch the rain. I am in the desert Southwest of the US, and we've been enduring a drought for almost 10 years now. Drought in the desert is pretty scary!!! We did have a good monsoon season this year, which helped. I am hoping now for some good fall rains to help replenish the aquifer. Love the smell of rain. In Minnesota, it smells earthy and rich. We used to get two or three day drizzles that the farmers call a "million-dollar rain" for its effect on crops. Desert rain smells acrid, with the scent of dust being wetted down and the tang of greasewood, and it rarely lasts more than an hour or so. I enjoy rain in both places very much, but desert rain is more precious and I like to sit outside and enjoy the smell and the sound...and the light show, during monsoon season. Lightning is fun to watch when it isn't too close. grin Best wishes for continued rains, Cheryl. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools. --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. --Carolyn McCarty "CATS" wrote in message ...

OT It's really raining!
I just heard from Patti that Scotland has had it's first
light snow fall of the year. I can beat a bit of snow in Scotland! In NSW we had snow on the bushfires in the Blue Mtns (where I used to live) and we have three enormous icebergs floating up from Antarctica to NZ. http://tinyurl.com/yfdlrr http://tinyurl.com/y9v4xr The rain has been great here. Everything smells clean! But it will probably be in the high 80sF again by next week I will continue to hope that it rains for you over there as well as more here. -- Cheryl & the Cats in OZ o o o o o o ( Y ) ( Y ) ( Y ) Enness Boofhead Donut http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest catsatararatATyahooDOTcomDOTau "Carolyn McCarty" wrote in message ... : Wonderful!
