It actually rained last night. There was a sand storm that reminded me of my childhood, then boiling clouds and thunder and the smell of moisture, and this morning there was .25 inches of water in my rain gauge, but there were also several sticks and some dirt. My brother said he got .10 inches. I'm sure his gauge was spotless but still believe mine could be correct.
My sister mowed the entire pond today before she went home. I helped some with the trimming but she is almost too dynamic to be around. Chuey has bonded with her over the past two days and although he was afraid of the pickup, he will absolutely love living with them.
My sister and Cashmere watered the East berm for most of the day. I think it's too hot for them to move the water very often, and Cashmere has to carry the child everywhere she goes.
