May Rain

I said earlier that May is supposed to be our rainiest month. Well, it looks like this year won't be an exception after all! We've had lots and lots of rain in the last couple of weeks, and the month is still young!

We're leaving for our honeymoon tomorrow, and it looks like I won't need my cat-watchers to water the garden as well. It's getting a good soak!

The rain barrels are overflowing even though our new house doesn't have rain gutters (that's on the long to-do list we have for this house). One of these days we're getting some of those big water tanks that hold like a thousand gallons to collect rainwater. Weather like this could probably fill it up.

We're still under official drought conditions, but this weather is certainly helping.
