Boy did we get rain this evening! Yahhoooo! We've needed moisture so badly and it came in fast and furious this afternoon. Melissa and I went out to try and get a walk in and well, we were chased back to the car by COLD, FIERCE winds and by the time we drove home, it was raining sheets sideways! There are gorgeous puddles all over our yard and it looks so fresh and lush outside now. It's very cold though, it's only +3C here right now. Brrrr...that's why I decided it was a great night to sit and drink coffee and CRAFT! :o)
