We've been getting a lot of rain lately...our rain gauge which holds 5 inches of rain is overflowing. Great for the
trees we planted! Today we had a good Kansas Thunderstorm. Taryn thought it was time for bed at 11:30 a.m. because it was so dark outside. But, then again, she is always looking for an excuse to put her p.j.'s on.

Here is a bit of video...for some reason some of the shot didn't get recorded. It could be because I forgot to press record, just maybe.
This weather makes for a great day to stay inside and watch a bit of World Cup. Go USA!!

Our rain gauge actually goes up to 6 inches, and I empty it every week on Monday night. That way I know if I have to water my new trees. That means that since Monday we have received over 5 inches of rain, and I even emptied it in the middle of the rainstorm today! I actually turned on the sprinkler system this week for the first time this year...we hadn't received any rain for a week, so I thought I would see if it still worked! It worked, but that day we received 3 inches...guess it didn't need it :). Not having to really turn on your sprinkler system until July has got to be a record!
ReplyDeleteBtw, my word verification is "gollatis"...ironic, beings that I had a little of that watching the Yanks take on the Brits today!
