Much Needed Rain

What a glorious day.  Finally, after an extended drought we got a much needed rain. It came in three waves.  I heard distant thunder when I first got up this morning.  It rained 0.5 inch about ten o'clock then stopped and I thought that was all.  But, about  two o'clock this afternoon it poured rain.  Then about four o'clock it rained briefly.  We got a total of 2.1 inches.  The ground was so dry it soaked up the rain like a sponge.  After the rain I walked on bare ground and scarcely made a footprint.  Hopefully, we will continue to get more.  It's much needed.
