I know that there are members that have seen more than enough rain this season, but those of us that haven't seen any real rain since March are loving this. It started a soft, soaking rain about 8 am Monday, and has been raining ever since.

Here is the Green River at Mammoth Cave on Sunday; what was left of it, that is:




..and here it is just a couple of hours ago. It may not break the drought, but it really, really is welcome.

I spoke with my mom this morning as they are visiting my sis in central VA-they are supposed to get a nice amount of rain to help with their drought situation.

We had gone several weeks this summer without rain-it was tough to take but in a better water situation now (3 inches last week!!)

its all part of the coming ice age, or so some are starting to say....
for me, hmm it seemed like a normal ohio summer, even more on the mild side.

glad you are getting some rain, your area is very pretty. Was the boat still running for mammoth caves?

No, it hasn't been running for several weeks. The ferry at Houchen's ferry is partly in the water, but the water wasn't deep enough for it to operate. Upriver a few miles, the Green River ferry was totally grounded.

The rain started here Monday afternoon and just stopped for a break this morning. We have a nice "river" in our pasture now, and walking dogs is a nightmare because you just sink in the mud. It really was needed, but I'm ready to see the sun again!

We REALLY need rain. The city is under water restrictions. It is cloudy and chance of rain for the next few days, but we need more than a sprinkle.

Everything is awful and dry. Besides, my car needs washed!


Could definitely use some rain vibes here!

Wow those are really nice pictures...


It is raining here as well in Ontario, but it is the kind of weather we expect this time of year. It was also such a hot dry summer for us that this is kind of nice. I like cooler weather anyway and rainy day like this give me an excuse to get the soup pot out and make some of my favorites.

All the rain can go to California & anywhere else that needs it.

Honestly, I don't care to see any rain for a long... long time
