On the other hand, San Francisco also gets less precipitation than we do...it's nature's constant mist and drizzle approach. So, yes, we'll get accustomed to rain again! Julie--I'd be glad to steal your rain away. Really! Truly! If I could wave a magic wand and move that low to the west, I'd do it in a flash. SBird--The fire has grown to about 2,500 acres, but the fire-folk seem pretty nonchalant about it at this point; it's 50% contained, and the humidity and cool temps have kept it pretty tame. Ms. VM--It just doesn't seem possible to put the words "drought" and "Georgia" into the same sentence. I hope y'all get some moisture soon! Figlet--As I said, things do start blooming like crazy (and growing like crazy) once the rains really start, but so far we really haven't had diddley...My reported .2 inches was actually .02; I had misread the graph. Today we had some, but not enough, no way. Kirstin–We’ll be in “South Central Alaska”; interestingly, it gets *less* precipitation there than we have here!

If so, please post a picture. That is if you aren't too busy packing.... Does everything start blooming like crazy after the rain? If so, please post a picture.

What kind of magic do you have out in the Southwest to make this happen? Must be the same magic that allows only crabgrass and kudzu to survive this drought in Georgia! Send me some of this magic water from the sky, please!!! Wait - water falls from the sky? What kind of magic do you have out in the Southwest to make this happen?

TAKE IT ALL! ALL THE RAIN...it's ALL YOURS!!! We're are mildewed away here; the children have gone cabin fever mad and I've been driven stark raving nutters. I guess on the flip side, my blogging is good and steady. Make sure to knock on some wood too. ;) TAKE IT!
