Rain at Last!

It wasn't a long rain, but it was rain.  About 30 minutes worth and a total of about 1/2 inch.  

It came with a wind that blew some collected boxes around that were waiting for trash collection, but at this time nothing to complain about.  It had not rain any appreciable amount since April.  

The tanks remain low and undoubtably it will take more to start the grass to growing out of dormancy.  But NOAA is predicting a wetter than normal two weeks.  The Dome of Doom, high pressure ridge that prevented rain and turned us into a 3 digit degree pressure cooker has broken.

This morning the moisture generated a fog and cool temps.  For the first time I have been hearing happy crickets in the years making their sounds.  Hopefully this is the first of more precip to come!
