Right now, it's actually pretty nice. It was nice last night about this time too. A few clouds to give the sunset some color. But then as it got dark the clouds moved in and the rain came down. It came down off and on all night.
It was raining pretty hard this morning when I woke up. It's rained pretty hard practically every day since we came to Oregon. I think the only nice sunny days were the two days of the Graduation festivities -- thankfully.
I understand it's been raining in the Menno area of eastern Washington where our wheat ranch is as well. My late father-in-law always called June rains "million dollar rains." He was referring to the amount of filling of the winter wheat kernels that happened with the moisture as well as the boost spring wheat always needed about that time of year. Our friend Bill says he got .6 of an inch of rain at his place.
For an area that usually has an annual rainfall of 7-9 inches, that is a lot!
The forecast is for more rain tonight and again tomorrow. The map on the TV showed a whole expanse of white clouds swirling around the Pacific Northwest. I'm thinking I'm looking forward to being in Phoenix next week, even if it's 100 plus degrees...
