Whats the news about the weather

I can see stars, so the sky must be clear.

We got an inch of rain from last night's storm. Enough to give me 30 gallons of rainwater for the gardens.

you wrote "Steal toad boots don't become a thief, the toads might need them ?

That will stop all that hopping about
