I've been glad for the rain. The nearby pond is still completely gone and its companion lake is closer to pond size. Considering that and the high level of fire danger we sat in for most of July, it's nice to have moisture back. Still, I was happy to see the sun.
The forecast is calling for more rain in our near future, but I'm encouraged by the sunshine suggested for next week. I'm hoping that Katrina and Peter will get a chance to see some of the more impressive sights rather than just being told "well, imagine that the clouds weren't here ...".
