She and her 13 year old brother got thoroughly soaked as they ran through the rain and jumped in the puddles!! We certainly continue to pray for rain. .as that rain is long gone!!

Great bit of nostalgia and terrific photo, kids do the same here and don't even object to the near frost bite to their toes.

If we ever get a decent rain (during the daytime), I fully intend to try it. (There are benefits to living out in the country where no one can see you to call you crazy!)<br /><br />By the way, I hope your 40% chance of rain panned out last night. We actually got 1/4"!Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-31868188213047195812011-09-03T22:00:17.813-05:002011-09-03T22:00:17.813-05:00I'm think'n I'll wear my birthday suit...I'm think'n I'll wear my birthday suit. lol.

We have been having to consistently water, and even my well established perennials are suffering. We just received a 1/4" of rain today. The first good rainfall since June, I believe. I hope you get a good steady shower....soon.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09270165369768480827noreply@blogger.com
