Rain!!!!!

Finally got an inch of rain last night.   Hooray.  We can still use some more, but at least the pressure is off most of the crops, especially the smaller transplants and seedlings.  I imagine it is still dry six inches down.  I hope things turn around from here and we start getting rain on a regular basis.  I'm sure a lot of farmers were standing out in the rain last night thanking the Flying Spagetti Monster for making the corn crop and maybe getting an extra cutting of hay for the fall.  This will kick start most of the veg crops that have been stalled by the lack of moisture and will keep later lettuce crops from showing the internal tip burn they have been experiencing.
