RAIN!

It rained today and it smells so good outside!  You know, after living in Oregon the majority of my life and seeing what I thought was enough rain to last me a lifetime, I am now sorely missing this life giving water! This is the 2nd time I have seen rain since....well, since I don't remember when.  And I'm not joking.  It rained once about month or two ago and Mark called me to come outside, but by the time I got out there it had stopped.  And before that.... really, it was a long long time ago.  Here's the thing with rain here: it will rain, occasionally, but it only lasts for about 5 minutes or less and then no more rain for a couple months.  You think I am exaggerating, but I'm not.  I have been trying to catch the rain for a while now and have always failed.  Today, however, I was victorious!  I caught it just in time.  It stopped just right after I took all these pictures.  

Can you see the water dripping off the roof?

Puddles!

Check out that ominous sky!

The ground is so wet!  It rained hard - for about 5 minutes - but still, it rained!
Here is a video of the rain.  You probably can't see the actual rain, but you can imagine!

You are so funny. If I need to laugh I am going to come and watch your rain video.
