Finally Some Rain

We're getting some rain in Jamestown, New Mexico. This is the first rain since March. 

It isn't a monsoon rain (that starts next month), but we'll gladly take whatever we can get. 

So far, it is  light sprinkling, but it is enough to wet everything outside. It should be enough to green up the area a little.

It is expected to last a few hours this evening. If it moves eastward, it could help with the ongoing fires.

Earlier this afternoon, I was talking with one of the Navajo clerks at the Flying J about the rain. She said she hopes it does rain. I said, "You could do a rain dance to urge it!" She had a good laugh over that.
