    You must have had some very heavy rain then Pam!

    We had some much needed rain this afternoon but not nearly enough
    as the ground if very dry and the lawn is turning quite yellow.

    Just 5 minutes ago we had a crack of thunder and a spinkle of SNOW!!!
    - didn't last long though as it's bucketing down at the moment.

    Morning all :)
    Lovely pic Rosa - as always.

    It looks sort of indifferent here. I hope it brightens up.
    We had some good old rain yesterday evening.
