We were all singing that song last spring. But in the heat wave of July 2011 I am doing a rain dance to bring it back! I have used all 215 gallons of  water from my rain barrels to keep my berry & nut bushes, vegetable garden and herb/greens container gardens going.  I lost some kale and beets but I can replant them in August to get another crop.
