The rains are gone now. We ended up with 2 full, wonderful inches. Others got more but we are grateful for what we got. We were worried we would be too far west.
I do dread the hot temperatures predicted this week though.
DH called me out to the porch Saturday morning to see this:
For some reason the wild barn cats have started coming down to the house...not all of them. We have more. I think we may be able to start catching them for a visit to the vet.

We had dinner with DH's mom in town yesterday so I think today will be spent very quietly at home.
