Rain! Glorious rain!

Several hard showers last night that dumped a couple of inches that mostly ran off, and about 2 1/2 hours of steady but mostly not-so-hard-it-all-runs-off rain tonight. I had been irrigating, more than I was comfortable with considering the water bill, (and especially considering it is only June,) and was on the cusp of deciding to sacrifice some plants and places in the interest of sound household fiscal policy. Now I can put those kinds of decisions off a bit longer.
