Finally, finally, we have gotten one of the oft-promised thunderstorms. It has been raining hard off and on for at least the last two hours.
Except for some erosion on newly seeded slopes, I think this is great. We have had very little rain for a few years. Our cabin well is dry as dry as can be, paths that have had puddles in the past have been dry, and the berries have been very small.
The downside is on the downside of our front lawn in Duluth. We had more dirt put in the trench where we had sewer work done, and my wife has planted grass seed there. The grass looks like a buzz cut on a sparse head of hair and won't be holding the water back very well.
Oh, well, there are good things and bad things to almost every natural event. Oh, no! The mosquito will be hatching in the millions!
