Rain comes…finally

Rained here in SW Virginia for the past three days and we need it. Our area is near eight inches from this event in portions of the county. If it were to have popped up in mid-winter with normal temperatures, I'd be out shoveling tons of snow! Is this topic worth a "blog" spot? Darn right, considering we've gone months without any substantial precipitation in most of the southeast. And, this gives me a chance to highly recommend USA made, calf-high XTRATUF boots, which I learned about while traveling in Alaska. They call them "Alaska tennies", and they are without a doubt the most comfortable and effective wet-weather boots I've ever worn. You can get them here.
