In this last hour, as I sit at my desk finishinishing up my to do list, I have noticed the sky getting darker and filling with threatening rain clouds. As I finish this post, the blue of the photo has diminished.
We welcome the rain, it erases the possibility of the dreaded "d" word, also known as drought...Let is rain!

Looks pretty! Rain is a good thing here in PHX as well. And I think you'll be sending it over to us next. Thanks!

Anna,
That is true, we also sent some snow to Utah, they needed it to extend their season...supposedly we are getting more tomorrow. A
Like Gene Kelly, some sing and dance in the rain, with an umbrella.

One of my favorite Russian writers,describes one of his characters being able to walk between the rain drops. I have rarely shied away from getting wet. 😇
Hi Ron and Alexandra, I have spent many days working outdoors in the rain. We even had special paper for that. Now I spend much of my time in the office instead - so rain doesn't bother me here either. Enjoy your day - rain of shine.

Bob,
We both love the rain, and I have never minded walking in the rain in Europe or in England. A
How wonderful to hear you have rain. We are getting a lovely sunny day and we are enjoying it. I'm really happy to be able to comment on your post, I can't seem to access some of the others.
Debb,
It has really been weird. About 25 of my favorite bloggers have had the dog appear when I click on their post. It is really annoying. A
What a beautiful photo!!! I love it when it rains and glad that it's helping to keep you from the "d" word!!!!u

Kathy,
I have noticed that the media and many of us parrot those words that they continue to talk about, even when gadzillions of gallons are falling. A
Hello Alexandra and Ron - we even had a bit of hail this week.

Michael,
I did not realized it hailed in your area. I remember it happening in LA a few times, in Napa we had snow one year, and even here we had hail a few years ago. A
Love Rain, good for our Citrus Trees and good for our grass:)) and Diane does not have to water since she shut off the sprinklers and thinks by hand watering is better:))))))))Endre

Endre,
Diane may have a point. Sprinklers do not do the best of jobs. They are definitely an easier way of watering. Have a great weekend. A
Morning Alexandra.
We got our share yesterday, expecting more for the weekend and today. Four days of rain, thankfully it's not 40...

James,
I would love 4 days of rain. So far we are done with rain according to the weather report. Happy Friday. A
Good morning, Alexandra... you must be very special here in the Rain... I can't log onto 90% of those I follow here to comment... but somehow got through to your post. Happy Friday... hope you got the rain you were hoping for.

Nina,
Yesterday, the dog ruled. I counted 25 posts I could not log on to. A
Good morning Alexandra. If it comes our way as rain let it happen but if it wants to come as snow, I'll take a pass! Enjoy your day.

Wayne,
You have had enough snow. I wish you a sunny weekend. A
Good morning Alexandra - I would say in California you should certainly reach out with a big spoon.

Grant,
We do reach out with barrels in some cases. Some folks have rain barrels to save water for the summer. A
