puddles!

We have missed the past couple of predicted rains and our ground, at least on top, is dry as dust.  I have been considering watering to pre-moisten the planting beds prior to seeding and transplanting.  So last night I was watching with disappointment as the forecast changed from rain expected to not expected.  Today it was cloudy when I got up so I quick checked the forecast and a 0% chance of rain at least for this morning.  I was lamenting yet another missed rain when lo and behold we had a nice shower.  And puddles...

And wet dogs.  I will gladly put up with a little wet dog smell and muddy paw prints in exchange for a nice rain shower.  I did not have my rain gauge out yet but perhaps it is time.  

And a baby goat picture...
