Our rain has stopped; but it rained for almost 24 hours.  I enjoyed sleeping last night.  There were low rumbles of thunder as the rain came down steadily all night.  All together, we received a little over three inches.  Some places in North Texas had over five inches, and there has been some flooding of creeks, although no problem here.

I live right across the street from an elementary school, and I felt for the little kiddos this morning having to get out in the cold rain  to go to school.  I see the cars lined up over there to pick them up, as elementary schools dismiss at 2:50.  It is still chilly but they won't get wet this afternoon at least.

We have been fortunate here in the Dallas area to have had a lot of rain in both December and January.  Let's hope it continues through the Spring.  After the horrible drought and heat we had last summer, it is going to take a lot of rain to get the ponds and lakes back to normal. 

We still have more rain in the forecast for tomorrow, which is good news.

I haven't had my lunch yet.  I usually get around to eating about this time of day.  I'm thinking a big bowl of tomato soup will taste really good.

Think I'll go fix it.  Hope all my friends in Oklahoma are getting rain also.
