Yeah! RAIN!!!

Abilene gets 2-inch rain

Early morning thunderstorms dumped 2.01 inches of rain officially at the Abilene Regional Airport, according to the National Weather Service.
The rain was the biggest since Oct. 13 when it rained 1.97 inches.
The rain brought the year-to-date total to 5.04 inches, still more than an inch below normal for this time of year.
There is a 40 percent chance of more rain throughout the afternoon.
Temperatures will be in the upper 60s today and low 70s on Sunday.

Now this means that those dogs have been in the house all day...Jaeger did step out to do his business, Rhowdie pooped all over the living room floor while we were out for breakfast! Oh, yeah, they had to go out to eat also after breakfast during room cleanup! But ever since they came in we haven't heard from them!

We'll see if we are getting any more rain, it kind of looks dreary right now, so maybe another nap is not far away, and reading a book is always good on days like this! Yeah, we finally had rain and the back yard is flooded!

  1. Wasn't it WONDERFUL? (The breakfast and the rain, not the poop.)

    I came home from breakfast and blew off the gym, even though I was in my YMCA workout gear...got in bed and finished The Green Glass Sea instead. (Ended up liking it, after all. Don't know if the kids will enjoy it as much as we did, though..)

    And as for only five inches in MAY, that just doesn't seem right when our annual rainfall is around 24". Maybe we get most of our precipitation in the fall? Oh, that's right...during West Texas Fair & Rodeo Week!
