This weekend we received our first rain in months. It was great! I felt sensations I had not felt in quite sometime. It actually felt strange.What I didn't expect was our power to go out. At about 12:15am our power went out. There was plenty of lightning so I assume it was related. However, power was not restored until almost 8:30am the next morning. I can only guess that a major transformer was blown and had to be replaced.

On a side note, I also got to see our new flagstone trough in our ditch it action. It works great! The water was never even close to spilling over the sides (although I am surewith more rain it would). This is really going to make my yard easier to maintain by keeping the groud dry and controlling the weeds. This will turnout to be money well spent!
