Wed 18 Jul

Nice to hear the rain falling this morning. We had a sprinkling that started around 4:30 am when I got up but only lasted half an hour or so and netted .05 inch, but now it's raining again and sounds a bit more productive. Would be nice if it continued through the day at a soft enough pace to soak into the poor parched earth. It's probably too late for the crops that haven't been irrigated, but the farmers who have spent a small fortune on irrigation will get a little break.
