It Rained!

We have been having some very nice weather recently, even though it is almost January already... Today got up to the mid 30s again, and this afternoon it decided to RAIN! Usually if we get any precipitation this time of year, it comes in the form of snow...  My boots even got muddy while I was doing chores tonight! Just for reference, here is a picture of what it looked like about this time last year:

This year it would be hard to find a patch of snow on the ground anywhere! It looks pretty brown and dead around here...
