We asked for it

We have had drought-like conditions most of the summer. Our grass was about to die and we lost a number of trees in the backyard, including one of my favorites -- a pretty little magnolia. We asked it!
Over the last week, it has been too wet to mow. Finally, yesterday, just as Will and Alex got out the mower and started on the backyard: more rain! (The helmet is from riding his scooter -- even I am not so paranoid as to have him wear a helmet for mowing!)
Then today, just as Evan arrived for his first-ever soccer practice, it POURED. He, Alex, and some buddies from his team ran around in the rain. They had a great time, but Evan was disappointed that his first "real" practice was canceled.





At least the grass is green again!
