In my ten years of keeping summer rain records, I have never had a day like this. I've had 2.75" twice. But never 3.5" and rising. When the lightening subsided we went out for a look around. Things are beginning to drain. It was coming down in sheets but now just a steady rain.

| And more to come |
We needed this rain, but not all at once.
I picked the first peas this morning, and made some strawberry jam yesterday. If I get a chance to pick berries again today I will make a second batch.
