It's been raining at the Aerie since 7 PM last night and it seems likely to continue through the day and possibly through Tuesday--if AccuHunch is to be believed. They say we'll see close to two inches of precipitation from this event. After such a dry start to the month of April this is most welcome. The rain is a slow, steady soaker with the only surface water visible from the down spouts of the gutters. Everything is just soaking into the earth at the moment. With the temperatures in the 40s and low 50s, I expect that the grass and trees will just go "SPROING!" when all is said and done.
The dairy farmers have to be looking at their pastures with a gleam in their eyes. Cows which have been in the feed lots and barns are probably doing the same. All that green has to look mighty inviting after nothing but hay and grain for months on end.

I was noticing just today how vivid all of the colors are in the plants, trees, and flowers. Beautiful! I think the cloudy weather just makes them pop even more, too.
