I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain?

—John Fogerty

I think I can say the drought is breaking, if it hasn’t already broken. So far, we’ve had the wettest January and March since I’ve been keeping records at the Hermits’ Rest.

You can see the effects in the greening of the weeds around the house. They are growing in where construction has disturbed the ground for the last couple of years.

Speaking of construction, I’ve also laid some PVC pipe to carry rainwater away from the house. After a failed attempt to use chains I could buy locally, I ordered some decorative rain chains from Amazon. Let’s see how they work.
