The rains are back


After a very dry January, it appears that the rains have returned. We're hopeful that there will be enough snow from these storms to replenish the snow pack in the mountains. And it is refreshing to have the rain around here as long as it doesn't flood us out or find a hole in our roof. By the way, we have added a drop of blue food coloring to our rain gauge so we can see the level better from a distance. This is how much it has rained in the 24 hours before I took the picture. At that time I dumped out 1.25 inches. And since the picture it has rained another 1.25 inches.
