Brief Rainfall

It was so good to see it rain today although it lasted for only about 10 minutes, we got about .2 inches because it came down hard. We have been in a miserable (at least I think so) heat wave all month. It's been really hot and humid and just zaps all my energy. We've had 11 days so far this month with temperatures of 85F (~29C) or higher, not much wind and dew points in the 70 degree range. Local weather folks call it "weather you wear". Thankfully we are expected to get some relief on Saturday and into next week. You can also see that the lawns are really green which is unusual for this time of year. In years past we have stopped mowing because the lawns have burned out from the heat. Not this year.
Have I ever told you I really like snow?????

An all too familiar scene in my neck of the woods also this summer. Fortunately the pattern finally seems to be changing a bit.

A nice capture of your break from the heat wave. V

Love the earthy scent in the air that follows summer rain.
We had our annual snowfall this morning - 20 mins, and now gone!

Makes no different how much I water our garden it just seems to be weathering away..

I seem to recall the love for the snow about this time last year.... I don't recall that love in January! We might get some rain tomorrow, or it might rain a mile from us, sometime close is not good enough! Nice capture of the rain, it can be difficult for me!

I can feel the humidity in your photo! The green is lovely, but I do hope you get some relief soon.

After this horrid heat wave I am starting to like snow. :((

We've got a heat wave here too, Patti.
In fact, it feels like we're melting!
We are certainly in dire need of rain!

Everything is sooo green. Hope you needed rain.
