Three full days of it.
It's starting to look like we're going to get our 12" annual rainfall in one dose!
We never have floods in these parts: the ground just soaks it up almost as fast as it comes down. And there's a new color on the plains now. Green. The country is greening up at a remarkable rate. The mulies, who are grazers and not browsers like whitetails, seem pretty happy with the new growth and since I have a lot of it on my place I am still on their Good Guy list.
It would be nice if we could get a few more (perhaps shorter) spates of good, soaking rain in the weeks to come. But if the pattern of the past holds, we will have a long, long dry spell to look forward to.

I guess you just have to take it all in once big lump these days. We had rain constantly for a week and it got tedious, but it got us over the hump on our drought as well. I would imagine you are as glad to see green coming back to the plains as I am to see it here in the mountains. A little color to brighten the day.
