We got a little rain on Monday, got a little more rain on Tuesday, got two inches of rain yesterday. It rained hard for about twenty minutes and then slowed done a little. The end result is as I said, two inches of rain. The air smelled great after it rained. I was a little afraid to go downstairs to open the garage door, because I was sure we had a bunch of water in the basement. But alas, the basement was pretty dry. There was a little around one pipe in the basement and a little water around the outtake pipe in the laundry room and that was it. This was despite the fact that we had a flash flood due to so much water in such a short time.

What standing water there had been right after the rain was gone within a couple hours. The fact we haven't had much rain lately was a good thing, the ground just drank the water up because we were a bit dry.

There was a bit of fog this morning, it left once the sun started to rise. I love fog, so I wish it had been thicker and had stayed around awhile longer.
