Hey Betsi! Send some of that rain northwest. We had some yesterday but not enough. It is supposed to rain today, but you never know........

Seriously, I know how your grass feels! Mine would be so happy with a couple of days worth of rain!!! (and so would my pocketbook, via the water bill :))

We didn't have as much rain as I would have liked, but any rain is GREAT! We did have a bad thunderstorm this evening too, Betsi. We were in a tornado alert area, but there weren't any tornadoes here. Parts of the city did have bad hail, but I didn't have any at my house. When I saw the storm headed our way on radar, I ran out and put bird netting over the garden - which I needed to do anyway, cuz our strawberries are beginning to turn pink and the birds will eat them if they are not covered with netting.

My daughter was caught out in the hail storm, but was able to get under a shelter so her car was OK. Her friend was not so lucky. She was driving and the hail broke the back window of the car. Her baby was in the carseat in the back seat and he got hit with some glass, but he is OK. Scary!!!!

We didn't get any rain last night. It all went north of us. We've had around an inch of rain so far this year. Not nearly enough.

Saw where the storms produced a tornado in Mississippi or Tennessee and heading toward Atlanta today. Wow. Only bad thing about spring is the tornado season. Hope you all get the rain you need.

Thank goodness your daughter's friend and baby were alright. That would have been really scary with the baby in the back seat.

I'm glad to hear that the hail missed your little garden. Nothing's worse than losing all the work that you've done. At times we have hail storms where farmers lose whole fields. It's a sad site, especially when you know that they've lost their income from it.
