A Welcomed Rain

It finally rained last night. We may have gotten about an inch of rain, and that was good. I don't believe that it had rained this month or at least it hasn't to amount to anything. We have been watering the garden for two or three weeks at least.
I keep seeing plants that I would like to have in the garden, but we are about to go on a two-week trip and I don't want to set anything out at this time.
