Having written earlier today that a local lake is low and that rain is unlikely until July, I am happy to report that at this moment it is raining cats and dogs - anyone want a small poodle? It started with hail as I was putting out snapdragons and is now producing a steady stream of raindrops at a rate just shy of an inch an hour. Evidently a huge, damp, low pressure area is moving over the southwest. It's supposed to rain on and off for three days. I know the moisture will be welcome in my garden. I hope it reaches many more gardens that need it.
