Knock On Wood For Rain This Week

Since it has been about 2-3 weeks since the last real significant rainstorm, if this week's forecast comes to pass, we should be getting some precipitation.

I had to water the trees yesterday, so my water bill will likely go up a bit. If we get rain this week, that will help with my water bill.

Knock on wood.
