I know our area desperately needed rain, along with the entire southeastern US. I'm sure what we've received the past few days doesn't even put a dent in the drought. However...

When measured by the drops that have pelted my head and face as I've buckled and unbuckled carseats, times I've scolded my kids for stomping in the puddles in their good shoes, and dustpans I have filled with the wet yard mess we've tracked inside, it has been quite enough.
