Earlier this evening.  About an hour before sunset, several hours after the last rain.  It rained for real today, starting with thunderstorms at 6:30 am.  Like in the Midwest, waking you up.  And it rained and kept raining and was windy and did a pretty good job of convincing us that it knew how to rain, better than it’s done in the nearly four years we’ve lived here.

And it’s not enough.  We need it to repeat about 30 times.  Without the 6:30 am drama, though; that would be nice.  It did make for a lovely sky and it rained long enough and slow enough that it probably did some good.  More, please!
