Over the past week or so, we've had several days of light rain. Nothing big--just a light, steady rain that I call "Seattle-style." The odd thing is that it only reached my friend's house, ten miles East of here, on one of those occasions. We talk on the phone (he's the fella I play in several bands with) pretty much every day. I'll check in with him in a few minutes. It must be some kind of coastal rain that's creeping inland, but not as far as my friend's house. Anyway, how's the weather where you are? I always enjoy the rain here.

Light rain here today too. The goats want it to go away.

@CarolDM Agreed! And I love the fact that it makes the word "drought" drop from Californians' vocabularies...at least for a few days.

@TheHorse Absolutely I enjoy every drop. Love the sound and the fresh smell. And of course the cooler temps. 70 instead of 80.

I love the rain it saves on your water bill. It came down really good last night.

Glad to hear! The rain has stopped and it's sunny out now. But that could change in a minute.

Is it welcome down there? I'm getting my months confused (for obvious reasons), but I think we had a promising November and December, then not much Winter rain, and some recent light rains.

@TheHorse Rain is always needed though I don't like it.

We didn't get April showers this year, but since yesterday we're getting plenty of rain! It hasn't stopped, for two days:( Our front yard is flooding, which usually happens in April for about a week.

I have seen such rains during the Monsoon season. Some occur within just a 2 to 3 km radius. Here the temperature is nearing 40 C, and our AC now really needs some repair/service.

@TheHorse Need to get some technician as this AC has a history of issues. And getting a new one is out of reach as of now.

40 C. That sounds hot. Will you be able to get your AC fixed?

I stopped work on the ark. The rain finally let up after two days of steady rain. We got well over 2 inches. The roads are still wet, so it might be a light rain out there. It's supposed to stop soon and clear up.

I love the term Seattle-style rainfall. I lived in Vancouver, BC, for grad school and we had that type of rain too. Today in Tokyo we are having that style of rain as well. I'm trying to decide whether I want to go out in it or not. If I don't go out at all I get no exercise and then I don't sleep very well.

It finally rained some this morning - it was nice! Then the sun broke out for a while - I thought it was over. But now it's back to gray again . . . I hope it rains again but I didn't pay attention to the forecast.
