We do have the rain gauge out and hubby said he’d go out at about midnight to get the full amount.

There were at least 2 of the kitties on the windowsill at the bedroom window, howling for supper. When I looked out, the rain had slowed down quite a bit, so I took their food out. Those are some smart kitties. Peaches was not impressed. LOL!

I guess I had whined enough about the drought that Mark remembered me when he saw the line of storms. I think he was afraid we’d get tornadoes. If it hadn’t been dark, I would have taken a couple of pictures for him, since he’s such a weather geek [self-described].

Midnight is when I always check our gauge, too, when we have rain. I look forward to your hubby's report. It looked impressive on the radar. I'm glad there weren't any tornados with it.

When some of our cats lived outside, they'd jump up on the kitchen windowsill to let me know when their food dish was empty. Your kitties are smart, too, and know where to go. :-)

With the rain we had last week and the heat we've had this week, the corn is really taking off. Before the rain started, the stalks were maybe a foot tall. The first pic was taken last Wednesday, on our fifth day of getting some rain. A nice growth spurt in those five days. I'm just under 6 feet so that gives some perspective.

I got this today, same spot, after the remainder of the rainfall and the past four days being roasty-toasty. The grass is mighty happy too. LOL Hubby needs to mow!

Now we see how long it is before I'm peeking out from inside the edge of the field. LOL
