Today carried an 80 percent chance of rain. It looked promising. Most afternoons now bring promising clouds.
I think about eight drops hit the ground. Not really the kind of numbers I was hoping to see or feel!
In good news, at least five ponds filled from the recent big rain event up the valley and on the eastern side of the basin.

TJ, great to hear about the ponds – hopefully more rain to come!! What an easy going guy, moving peacefully through his summer day…
More rain is always welcome! Full ponds = happy ponies and happy TJ. π
Ah Chrome, my love. Yes, rain all around–and in the middle–would be GREAT. And more than eight, please…
