| Come on--that's not fair. We got LESS THAN 1 INCH just across the border! But I am happy for you, Sara. : ) Kate |

| Happy for you and your roses. But, what is this rain of which you speak? I think I knew it last year, but this year, the spider that lives at the bottom of my rain gauge moved in the first week of May and hasn't had to rebuild his/her web once. |

| Happy for you. If you could just send one inch our way. No rain for months in the Verde Valley of AZ. I tried bowing to the rain gods but they aren't listening. Today we will break a record heat. |

| I wish all the drought areas a good soaking!! |

| Congrats on the three inches of rain, Sara! We were happy to see our inch of rain too, Kate, since I was literally just pulling out the hose to start watering the whole garden since the dry heat and humidity was sapping everything over the past week. I think this rain is enough to officially pull our little corner of Nebraska out of official drought, but since we're surrounded to our north, south and west by moderate to extreme drought I doubt that'll last. Still, the rain is a blessing! Cynthia |

| That's wonderful, Sara-Ann, and I'm happy for you, knowing only too well what an incredible blessing that is. We've had no rain in what seems like forever, and will not have any until October or November at the earliest, with ever-present fire danger. Still, it's good to know that for someone there is the wonderful relief of a wet sky, and what it does to make the garden come alive again. Ingrid |

| Thank you everyone. I am hoping all who need rain will get it and this drought will end. This is serious for a lot of people. My main concern for here is our water situation. Our city is working on this issue and they are making some progress. I lost a majority of my roses several years ago, due to drought and I don't want that to happen again. Weather can sure wreak havoc, can't it?. The horrible winter that some had, the drought, the heat, there's always something! I am generally an upbeat person and try to have a positive outlook and I am very happy for this small reprieve and hope this situation is going to get better for everyone.. |
