Finally! Rain Today!

It has been dry here for so long.  We have had lines of thunderstorms come through from time to time, and I would watch their approach on radar, and time after time the cells would go west of us or north of us and we would only get some sprinkles.  But today there were bands of rain from a big system coming up the east coast, and we had several hours of moderate rain, which was wonderful.  Finally some water for the gardens and the lawn!  I tried photographs of branches with water drops on them, but this view of water running out of the end of the gutter on the front porch was a better sense of all the water that came down.
