After some time without, it has begun to rain in the last few days. Unfortunately, it hasn't been enough to make much of a difference, yet at least. My hostas are wilting, my grass is brown, my ground is cracked and seething (well, maybe not seething, but it sounded good.)
It was funny yesterday, when it was pouring like crazy when Ian and I left Best Buy (I bought Warcraft III for the PC - more on that another time), but halfway between Des Moines and Indianola is was completely dry and sunny. Weird.
A couple hours later I was driving back to DSM to get a new battery for my car, and there was this point about halfway there where while I was driving in dry sunlight, I could see about a quarter-mile forward on the highway a wall of rain. It's always odd to just drive immediately into a downpour that you can spot rather than a gradual start of rain. |
