So it rained yesterday.
You have no idea how much of a relief that was to me. The people I spoke to immediately qualified it with "well, it was barely anything" and "it's not enough to make a difference"... I know that. What makes me breathe a little easier is that the thrice-bedamned high pressure system is breaking up. I had worried that it would persist into late March and we'd REALLY be screwed. Now we're probably still looking at a dry year, but we can handle that, at least in the north. It's the "no rain at all" "worst drought year since 1850" thing that had me worried.
Besides, I walked outside this morning into the smell of wet walnut leaves. Everything is all right now. :)
