We had some thunderstorms come through yesterday afternoon and into the night. My deck is still wet from last night's rain. 

It was a good thing that I mowed Barking Spider Acre yesterday morning. The additional rain we got afterwards will allow for more greenery in the field. 

The monsoon rains are forecast to continue over the Independence Day weekend in Jamestown, New Mexico.
