I know. I’d love for this drought to end.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 16:16:25
Avast, Teresa me farm girl! Love those rain besotted lilies! I hope th’ precipitation helps with th’ corn crop!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 16:21:56
It should help. Mine isn’t so far gone that there isn’t hope. It was a most beautiful sight to see raindrops on the flowers.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 17:22:34
I love the colors in that first photo! How beautiful and how wonderful to get some rain!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 18:04:55
It was a wonderful rain! Of course, at this point we think any rain is a good rain.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 17:26:46
Must have been the same storm that came through here this morning. About 20 mins worth of wet, then gone!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 18:05:21
It was enough to give us 1/2 an inch. I’m happy for that right now. Glad to hear you got some as well.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 17:45:59
It came here! We were at the fair looking at a jewelry booth and there was a HUGE gust of wind that blew tons of dust towards us. Everyone ran up to the Exhibit Barn and hid while it poured for 15-20 mins. I”m so glad we finally got rain!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 18:05:53
It was wonderful! Hope it didn’t do too much damage to the exhibits at the fair.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 18:21:27
Gorgeous raindrops!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 18:24:40
They certainly were!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 18:50:11
The rain has a cleansing effect as well.
Everything looks so fresh and clean.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 19:02:43
It really does. It somehow makes everything seem better.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 19:46:35
Sure, rain has done wonders. Thorough your pics I can already smell the rainy fragrance!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 19:47:40
Thanks. A good rain really does leave everything smelling so fresh.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 21:12:24
Love those flowers with the water droplets on them. Glad you got some much needed rain. Here’s to some more!!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 21:33:24
I could drink to that! Hope you get some rain too.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 21:21:59
Checking in from Sunday Best at a Rural Journal. I love the photos of the mallow – so pretty I’m inspired to give them a try in our new garden. Yay for rain! We’re getting a little bit tonight.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 21:34:09
Glad you’re getting some rain too. I love the mallow, but it can be invasive.
Aug 04, 2012 @ 23:25:16
Such gorgeous photos!!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 23:26:25
Thanks. It was so nice to go out and see some raindrops on the flowers.
Aug 05, 2012 @ 00:06:21
I’m so glad to read this – I wish the east and central part of the continent would get some sustained rainfall too.
Aug 05, 2012 @ 08:29:31
There’s so much of the continent that is in drought right now. It’s really scary. I am very optimistic of getting a decent harvest with the latest rain.
Aug 05, 2012 @ 03:11:21
Rain is absolutely wonderful for photographs! Makes those blooms magical! Congratulations on the much needed rain!
Aug 05, 2012 @ 08:29:48
Thanks. It really does make everything beautiful!

Its been raining here on & off all weekend… all the flowers look so pretty
Aug 05, 2012 @ 08:30:43
Thanks. I’m still jealous of all the rain you’ve been getting. I’m sure you’re tired of muddy barnyards. Too bad we couldn’t even it out a bit.
Aug 05, 2012 @ 16:26:45
Every flower looks so gorgeous with those waterdrops on the petals. Even the bug on the sunflower looks happy! Great pictures.
Aug 05, 2012 @ 16:32:15
I really do think the rain made everything happy!
Aug 05, 2012 @ 16:40:04
After the summer rains ~ all seems cleansed ~ beautiful photography ~ (A Creative Harbor)
Aug 05, 2012 @ 16:58:52
Thank you. It was so nice to be out in the rain cooled air and see raindrops on the flowers!
Aug 05, 2012 @ 18:39:59

Aug 05, 2012 @ 19:53:23
I loved the rain!
Aug 05, 2012 @ 20:02:13
Beautiful pictures of the rain-kissed flowers!
Aug 05, 2012 @ 20:57:46
Thanks. It was a sight I’ve been waiting to see for quite a while.
Aug 05, 2012 @ 20:53:05
I love the wet lilies! Raindrops and flowers are the perfect combination.
Aug 05, 2012 @ 20:58:00
It really is a beautiful combination!
Aug 05, 2012 @ 21:18:42
Yay for rain! Love seeing all the raindrops on your plants. We got some today, too. It sure was welcome.
Aug 05, 2012 @ 21:28:51
Rain is a good thing! Glad to hear you got some too.
Aug 06, 2012 @ 04:41:39
seems like your world was cleansed.
Looks gorgeous!
Aug 06, 2012 @ 08:26:26
It really was! It was quite fresh afterwards.
Aug 06, 2012 @ 10:09:38
I’m sure the flowers were pretty grateful for the rain, too!
Aug 06, 2012 @ 10:26:49
Around here, everything is grateful for each drop of rain we get this summer!
Aug 06, 2012 @ 13:58:30
I’m so glad that you got some rain! The flowers are gorgeous. I think the lilies are my favorites.
Aug 06, 2012 @ 14:30:47
I too love the surprise lilies!
