Welcomed May Rain

“Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book.”
― Bill Watterson, The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book

Perhaps coffee instead of tea, but a good book nevertheless.

Thanks to the last several days, May of this year has turned out to be wetter than normal, but we remain far below our average rainfall for the year to date. The prior eight months were all well below normal rainfall levels, so with this recent rain, the drought only eases a bit. Rain, like other things, becomes more appreciated when it’s scarce.
