Hiya, Fay! Nice to have you here!

[tikatu]

Outside my door is the most heavenly sound I've ever heard: rain pouring down from the sky. There' s a little thunder in the background, but the rain has turned the street white, as if it were foggy out. It started around noon, rained hard for about five or ten minutes, and just a little bit ago, the sky let loose!

We have needed this so very, very badly. Just this morning, on the way back from taking Hubby to work so I could have the car, I heard a PSA from the water system, asking people to take 5-minute showers. We're taking them every other day as it is in our house.

Oooh! Thunder's a little closer now, though I haven't seen any lightning. And the rain is easing a bit. It could rain like this, steady but not a downpour, for a couple of days and I don't think I'd mind. Not at this point. I think Lacey's spooked, and I know it was the rain that drove Tika and Cotton inside (where the other idiot furballs are, I don't know).

Yeah, I feel bad for the residents of FL; they got hit hard by this storm, harder than expected. But for us up here in this little corner of SC, Fay is an long-awaited answer to prayer.
