Finally, some rain

This year's monsoon season has passed us by, or so I thought. Through July and this month it seemed to rain everywhere in the valley but only sprinkle at the WD. Then yesterday we got half an inch or so in the afternoon, and today it was about one inch! In about twenty minutes!

It brought all three families that live in visible proximity from each other out to celebrate the, as one called it, "yearly" event, and to assess any damage sustained. Nothing major, just a lot of sheet flooding well away from the house.




One muddy Oregonian horse. At least all of them had sense to stand under cover during the storm.

I know 1.5 inches is a huge downpour for you, but it sure is different from here! We got 2.5 inches over the weekend, but are hoping for rain from Isaac to help erase our drought.

It does look kinda pretty where the water is sheeting off. Glad no damage.
