We have been experiencing a moderate draught here in the Ozarks this fall and winter, so yesterdays rain was greatly welcomed.  We probably received about an inch of rain (I’m not sure – I accidentally left our rain gauges out in sub-freezing weather with water in them, and they froze and cracked).  What I would like to see are a couple of gully-washers, in order to flush out our creeks and top off our ponds.  After the rains, George and I had to sit a spell and admire a pretty rainbow.
