Rain wonderful rain

[Crystalmoon]

I am so happy today, it finally rained last night & again this morning  ;D there hasnt been any rain in my part of Kent for sooooooooooo long my water butt was down to literally an inch that I couldnt get out & my blueberries were at risk of dying of thirst just as the fruit are ripening (I had even momentarily considered stealing some rain water from someone elses butt on my site :o I didnt though).
I suffer from arthritis & rain makes my legs hurt terribly but Im still overjoyed it is here

If you have a problem with rain suggest you move here.

Forgot to top up my pond and tubs in the back garden and the all dried out, allotment is like a desert here in sunny  Salisbury. Think I will do another rain dance tonight! They don't  seem to work though. ???

It rained here yesterday on and off all day.  It's the first rain we have had in ages... but it only wet the top 1/8th of an inch of soil.

A few spots on windscreen when I was on the way to pick up dog from kennels. I could have spit more. Overcast all day and again this morning but no rain!!

We'd had enoughin Swindon when I left this morning for there to be puddles.... not big ones, but enough to persuade me that I didn't need to do any more watering.....  we're due a load more this evening/tonight..... If we get enough I'll plant my cabbages out tomorrow.....

My 3 yr old grandson asked me yesterday "What is a puddle?"

I said: "When you see a bit of water and you are wearing your boots, what do you do?"

Three voices (3, 5, and 5) answered "We stamp and splash!!!"

So they do faintly remember puddles (South London).

A bit of rain.  A small amount dripped into the water butts.  There were a few puddles, soil appeared wet at the allotment but it was not very deep still bone dry underneath.  Planted out some PSB at least it will not have been burnt to a frazzle.  But it has brought out the toadlets.  Hopefully the plants will absorb some of the moisture through their leaves.  Perhaps too it was enough to get the runner beans to set.

I watered the lottie today, and now it's raining-hurray!

[Pescador]

It'll be interesting to see how far down it's gone.
I'd be amazed if here, between Nottingham and Derby, it's gone in more than 2cm.
(and the hanging baskets still need water!!)
