There shall come soft rains

Finally they raised the probability of rain to more than 50% and like a miracle, it is raining. Probably not enough accumulation to even begin to break the drought, but at least it is raining a little and has been going at it for a couple of hours. Might be a whole quarter of an inch.

Of course this lands right on top of a planned picnic (two in fact) but I don't think anyone will complain much. At least it will lower the fire hazard for a day or two. I'm afraid it's far too late to save farm crops around here.
