Humberto is coming ... the remnants of the Hurricane, Humberto, rather ... and he is supposed to bring us 1 - 2 inches of steady RAIN beginning possibly tonight (50% chance), or definately tomorrow (100% chance). He is also speeding up a "cool front" according to the weather channel, so perhaps we will not see the 90-100 temps return that have plagued us for much of the summer.
The children were giggling ... "Maybe we should make some WELCOME signs and hang them all over the outside of the house ?" They thought these signs might be nice to welcome Humberto to our drought-riden area with OPEN ARMS, of course, as he is bringing MUCH needed rain. And that maybe with such a warm reception he might like to stay a bit longer than just 1 day ... we certainly would welcome his rain (but we will be certainly thankful for whatever we get) !!
WELCOME TO TENNESSEE,
HOME OF THE VOLS,
HUMBERTO !!
UPDATE Friday 9/14 @ 2:29pm:
It has been raining since midnight and it is STILL RAINING. YAHOOOO !! So far we have between 1/2 - 3/4" in our Rain Gauge (we have been watching it ALL day - HA !) .... it is a nice cool steady rain so little is "running off" - it seems nearly every drop is almost INSTANTLY absorbed into our parched ground. Praise the Lord for the RAIN !! We did have to cancel Soccer Practice this evening, but we are not complaining at all ... I think we might have a movie & popcorn night tonight to "celebrate' the rain !! THANK YOU LORD ... and of course, Humberto too !!

Rain...ahhhh...we could use some, too. But we do have a "cold front" coming in, so our temps are down to 85 or so in the afternoon. It's beautiful!
