For over a week meteorologists have been forecasting that there would be significant rain here today. That was an accurate prediction! The rain began around 3:00 a.m. and continued for almost twelve hours. It was the kind of rain about which farmers dream. It was steady with no drama, only a slight rumble of thunder occasionally and negligible wind.
The gauge by The Little House registered two inches. Tomorrow I'll check the gauge by the pasture. This didn't appear to be a spotty rain so there may not be much difference between gauges. Farmers are done with the first cutting of alfalfa. This moisture will ensure a good second crop. Two inches is about all the soil can absorb at one time..."when farmer's eyes are smiling!"😀
Takk for alt,
