What's This Strange Thing?

Last night we had some rain- which made us think questions like "What's that strange noise on the roof?" Then it turned very cold.

The rain was fairly early in the evening, then it cleared away.

Later Margaret said, "It's been raining again", to which I replied, "It can't have been. There are no clouds."

But she was adamant. The ground was wet again so that meant it had been raining.

Then we remembered another phenomenon we don't have here lately. Dew.

You know the drought has been going on too long when adults forget what dew is!

  2. It is the first rain in nearly 2 months (apart from 1 mm last week) and it was probably only 2 mm. It is very, very dry.
