let it rain, let it rain, let it rain....

It was a really rough summer in central Texas. It was over 100 degrees for practically 3 months straight and there was very little rain. The city imposed mandatory water restrictions. We were allowed to water our lawns one day a week and the fine for homeowners that misbehaved was pretty steep.
There have been frequent showers the past couple of weeks and the temperature this weekend is dipping down into the 50's. I have a couple of rain chains rather than drain spouts on my rain gutters. They don't get much of a workout but they are nice to watch when it does rain.
I would normally complain about rain on a weekend but today I plan on making a crock pot of chili and enjoying this nice fall weather. Please pass the tabasco....
