Our several long days of soaking rain, which ended Monday, have been really welcome here at the parched rancho. According to our amateur rain gauge we’ve collected a little more than two inches since the steady showers began at the end of last week.
Now Mr. B. has something extra to look forward to on his Boy Scout troop’s Hill Country camping trip this weekend: a camp fire for the first time this year. The rains most likely have been sufficient to lift the burn bans imposed in most parts of Texas this year.

Lucky you. All these rains they predicted here for the last two weeks went south. Or north, whatever.
I never liked rainy days so much as the past few—folks a bit farther north got most of it, however. So we’re still (more or less) in latitudinal sync.
