Finally, Rain

For the first time in what seems like a very long time, it is raining. I mean, substantially raining. It started lightly yesterday afternoon and continued sporadically today until about an hour ago when it let loose.

We are on the verge of having a half inch fall between yesterday and today. At least, that's what my rain gauge indicates.

Today's newspaper said that we are likely to get more rain this weekend than we got in all of July and August combined. That's not hard to believe because I don't think it rained at all in July and August was very sparse.
