It’s been raining steadily for about three hours now.
It rained a few hours this morning.
It rained most of yesterday.
It rained hellaciously Saturday, with flooding and hail and a tornado or two spotted on the Lonesome Prairie©. It’s been raining in the mountains, with snow forecast the other day over 9000 feet. Down here (about 5500 feet) I have a space heater on.
In fact, it’s been an extraordinarily wet and cool spring. This though I can recall reading at least two pieces in the Post (which I can’t find now, natch) quoting various sonorous and no doubt well-qualified poops predicting drought this spring because the winter was unusually warm and slightly unusually dry. A trend goes on forever.
You should see the wildflowers in the front yard. They’re quite regimented-looking. If it ever gets light again I’ll post a picture. A little scary going out there, though. When it’s dry there are tons of bees, and they’re freaking out. I found the mailman lying on the porch Friday enjoying a brief anaphylactic-shock break.
