I ended up with 1.45" of rain today. Happened to be in a narrow training band of rain for awhile, but parts of southern Iowa got more with several inches. May get a tiny bit more soon with the cool front about to move through. Another beautiful rain.
I'm not saying anything unreasonable or wrong. It's been drier than usual up until recently and I'm starting to notice the benefits of that recent rainfall now that it's sunnier again. Very straightforward.
Once again, and I see some others have also called you out on this today, I refer back to what I said yesterday, about how you're calmly nestled far, far away in a forested chateau a thousand feet high in the Cascade wilderness, regularly rinsed by nearly one-hundo inches of juicy sky water every trip 'round the sun. We city peasants aren't so fortunate, down in our scorched concrete wasteland, where frail blades of grass struggle to sneak their brown, lanky bodies through cracks in the cement, gently dancing in the breeze on a somewhat cool hundred degree May evening.
