. . . and rain in the valley.  A good rain; the news this morning said .68, but Lori B.’s rain gauge looked like it was a bit more.

When we got up this morning, there were plenty of puddles.

The horses were philosophical about the whole thing.

They weren’t even excited about the snow on the mountains.

I don’t think that we saw any snow up there last year at all.

It stayed cool and windy all day, but we didn’t see any more rain.

We heard on the news at noon that there were reports of hail in other parts of the county, and even a photo of what appeared to be a funnel cloud.  Meanwhile, there are predictions for more rain by next weekend.  It won’t end the drought, but it’ll put a dent in it!
