that's great to hear @baymule ! 
we're finally getting a good drenching that we've also needed. when i took out the trash i sorted the paper stuff out of the recycle and only put out the rest of it so it wouldn't matter as much. we only get recycle pick up every other week so we do need the space... it was raining enough that my garden shoes were wheezing when i got back to the garage. spongey rubber shoes like crocs can make funny noises if they get holes through them. i also put on the bright yellow heavy plastic raincoat which i've only worn in the past when the ground bees got mad at me.

I got another 1:2” of rain today. Total now is 3” of rain scattered out over a week. That is good, the ground is soaking it up.

The Weather Service tossed out their prediction of weekday storms with the possibility of snow in AM turning to rain.
They have left the snow idea out and pushed the rain off to the weekend and continuing.
I'm modestly tempted to re-hang the clothes line over the backyard lawn for our largeloads washing day. Under the deck roof line would never work. But, I'm confident that I would just have to bring clothes back to the drier in the afternoon. It's 24⁰f (-4⁰C) right now with everything covered with heavy frost. BTW, I've tried before the freeze drying of clothes — it doesn't work.
