Glorious!

OMGorsh this rain is glorious! It smells wonderful and feels great! I can feel my corner of the world giving a big sigh of relief and comfort. It has been dryer than I have ever seen it in this area in my ... um ... 31(?) years of living here. Things just crackle and fall apart when you touch them, especially nylon rope. Makes a big straw-

Wow, and here we are drenched....wetter than it has been in years.

Today maybe. But not before this rain came in, right?

I was just out in it, only the surface of the ground is wet. You can kick the top layer of sand over with your toe, and it is dry as a bone just a fraction of an inch under the surface. Still need a ton of rain to be where we should be right now.

We have had LOADS of rain in December and January. This is the wettest winter we have seen since I moved to Oregon. Too bad we can't share.

Wow!! Then, why do you have burn bans?

We have had only 2 small sprinkles since before Thanksgiving.

? We have burn bans? Maybe in a different part of the state, but even that seems hard to believe at this time of year.

Actually, I just realized I'm speaking to the wrong person. Sorry, I got confused. Don't worry though, it happens all the time!

Hugz!!

I was feeling very confused, I am glad it wasn't me.

Eh, it's a natural state of being for me!
