Finally the rain…

has stopped for a little while.  We needed this rain so much last summer and now it is like a leaky faucet that won’t quit dripping.  Yesterday was thunderstorms off and on all day.  The Cardinal game was delayed because of rain in the bottom of the 7th.

After a 3 & 1/2 hour delay the Cards came back to beat the Giants.  What started out as an afternoon game didn’t finish until almost 10PM CDT. 

Rain delay

The next game is tonight and we have rain predicted for later on today.  We are really whittling down the rain deficit that we have had all year.  I think it is right around 7 inches below normal right now.

I am not sure what I am going to do today.  I need to get out a little bit for some fresh air before it starts raining again.  It is 42 degrees and sunny right now.

Thank you to everyone who commented on my post yesterday.  It brought back a lot of memories for me.

Have a  peaceful day.  Stay safe and be happy!!

  1. I believe everything happens for a reason, and maybe, just maybe, that leaky faucet that keeps dripping on ya'll let the players rest up enough to win that game....just for their favorite fan! I'm so glad they won and am crossing my fingers for you that they will have another win tonight....with less leaking! Hope you have a wonderful, DRY, coolish-warm enough day!!!

  2. I wish it were possible to send your rain our way. We are terribly dry.

    Enjoy your day and your game!

  3. So bummed that the Giants lost! Yes, I'm a Detroit Tigers fan (since childhood) but I'm also a Giants' fan (living here in the SF area). The teams are all playing so well this year---it's good to see that! I don't know how people can say that baseball is boring---not after all those "comebacks" and 9th inning surprises! Enjoy the last of the BB season!

  5. Nascar has been rained out at times, disgusting when that happens. I can imagine how you feel when your fave game is delayed. Send the rain down here and the 40's temps. It's about 66f here now.

  7. Yes, I'm ready to watch more baseball today.:) We have a greater than average rainfall total of over six inches! It's hard to believe we had such a drought in early summer.

    Take care, Beth, and have a good Thursday!

  19. We are about where you are in the rain department. So far the little spits of rain we've had haven't made much of a dent in things as far as I know. I hope you get to enjoy the day a bit before the weather changes.

  20. Been raining here since Wednesday...or should I say drizzling. We had one night with ferocious winds, but otherwise it has been leaky. ;)
