Not much to this post other than to point out that it’s raining for the first time in 53 days. 

That’s right – we haven’t seen rain in 53 days. 

I spent a considerable amount of time in the Northwest (Oregon) and, odd as it may sound to some, I like rain.  It’s cleansing and it makes and keeps things green.  It also makes you appreciate warm sunny days, of which we’ve had an (over?) abundance of lately.  So thank you, rain, for coming today.  Consider yourself missed.
