Trying to keep track of rain predictions lately have reminded me of the old carnival shell game…the carnie puts a pea under a shell, shuffles it around with a couple of other ones and someone gets to guess where the pea finally lands. Sort of the same way here…going to rain this day, no, this day…nope out of the picture…rain back for today, oops…tomorrow. Well, we finally did get some overnight rain. Not a lot but enough to leave some puddles and gloom behind.
Yesterday’s clouds rolled in looking promising, but as clouds will, continued to roll on out of here taking our hope for rain with them. Thankfully a new batch paid us a visit during the night and managed to leave evidence behind. Could get more this morning but I wouldn’t be betting the ranch on that. Just happy we got any at all.
