Mother Nature had a big "overdew" in Sioux Falls on July 26 when six inches of rain fell in two hours!

Cheers.
B...Von, here's to going over the top! Cheers.<br /><br />Baffled, wow—thank you! These were breathless, intense photos to take in a way, because I knew the water would all evaporate soon.<br /><br />Dave, I've dumped pitchers of water over these houseleeks before, but somehow they just don't look the same as with actual rain on them. (“Albuquerque—the Sussex of the West.”)<br /><br />Elaine, that is incredibly sweet of you. I'm so glad you find a “breather” here. And you are mighty generous to be willing to enjoy looking at someone else's rain...<br /><br />Diana, when I worked in radio, a friend at a competing station and I would have long, passionate conversations about how to talk about the weather. (We both spent a lot of time reading forecasts over the airwaves.) I'm sorry you've been left hanging out to dry this month!<br /><br />Sage Butterfly—thank you!<br /><br />Holley, I don't know how many people I've talked to here who said they ran outside and jumped up and down for joy when the rain started. We're all pretty much dancing in the streets. Thanks for joining in the revelry. I just checked the rainfall records on your blog—aack! You just about need this more than we do, and that's saying something!<br /><br />Donna, the whole “scattered shower” thing is such a tease. It drives you nuts to think of a great storm missing you by so little. At least it looks like the heat has broken for you—enjoy the respite!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-19818506573512003802011-07-26T16:36:33.159-06:002011-07-26T16:36:33.159-06:00Rain...great in the photos and on the garden.

I especially like the dripping image, beautiful. <br /><br />We too got 1/2 inch on Saturday night, but the big storm missed us that was only eight blocks away on Monday.

Yes, this year, for many, rain is a cause for dancing, celebrating, laughing out loud, and general revelry.

The beauty that surrounds me in your words and pictures takes me away for a few minutes and sets me free to view things I most likely will never see in person. <br /><br />Thanks so much for giving these gifts!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />ElaineElainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-1664261013871630862011-07-24T23:57:34.258-06:002011-07-24T23:57:34.258-06:00Semps just hold water so perfectly, don't they...Semps just hold water so perfectly, don't they?
