Dry Clyde, Dry Forest

The comment we made regularly while living in Clyde NC - "we live in dry Clyde". We said this for two reasons. The area would not sell alcohol and the rain always went around us.

For days now we have been waiting for some rain. The forecast called for rain. Well it did. But, not on our property. I was returning home from Watford which is only 20 minutes south of us. I drove through a thunderstorm that made me nervous with a downpour of rain that almost caused me to stop because I couldn't see. There are huge puddles on the side of the road in the town of Forest which is only 1 mile away from our home. I get to the house and it is dry as a bone. Go figure.

I will have to water my sad looking tomato plants. I better invest in a water hose.
