Is Our Drought Over?


We finally got some rain . . maybe a little too much.  Charlotte has been under severe drought conditions for the last year.  This is a picture of our backyard, with a muddy river rapid running through it.  We will now have mud for weeks, thanks to the red North Carolina dirt that is full of non-draining clay.  Still, the weather here sure beats the Northeast.  I do not miss the daily ritual of bundling our kids up in snow pants, hats, gloves, boots, etc. for school.
