It rained last night but wasn't raining when I got up. Deciding to walk then when it wasn't raining, given the long dry spell, I wasn't about to complain when it began raining as we walked. Rain energizes Kaia because it keeps her cool. It turned into a day-long, gentle rain that was pooling in low spots in the fields. My app reported .5" but the fields said "more." Over dinner my brother said that his gauge recorded an inch which verifies the pooling in the fields.
Combined with the .5" a couple of days ago, it's been a good week. All the crops, grasses and trees got a good drink but that total is about what is needed every week during the growing season. There is little reserve moisture in the sub-soil. It doesn't end the drought but is certainly a blessing. The Saturday forecast projects 60% chance or rain on Saturday. Bring it on!
Takk for alt,
