A little rain

Remember the portable pump I left in the tank yesterday?


Well, that's the first time all year I left anything in the tank overnight, and wouldn't you know it started to rain at 2:30 this morning, so I went out in it, and removed the pump. Then it stopped raining before anything ran.

Nevertheless, any rain is good. In the last 3 days that makes a total of one inch. Not only won't I have to haul water for a week in that crippled old truck, but, hopefully, the native trees along the arroyo (that don't get watered by me) might survive with this. I'm thinking the soapberries, Vasey Oaks (downstream from my oasis), hackberries, persimmons, as well as the sumac bushes, etc.
