Das Wetter

The Chicagoland area had a little thunderstorm roll on through today.  Some areas received upwards of 4 inches of rain!  Yowsers! 

(See for yourself) 



I really like that website.  But seriously, as Phil Collins was fond of saying, the gardens needed the rain.  Even my transplant strawberries were getting affected.  In their first few weeks in the new location that I have them in, it is clear that they communicate with droopiness when things aren't right.  Despite a very wet April, this past week with the warmer temperatures has really dried some of the areas out.

Paying attention to Tom Skilling's Twitter feed was pretty cool today.  He is a modern marvel with his interest in weather.  The man gets excited about the weather, Cantore is pretty awesome as well.
