Rain!

 

Hooray, rain arrived only one day after my rain barrel hit bottom and I had run out of my supply of harvested rain from roof run off. We have had very little rain this Spring so far and also considerably less snow fall, even in the mountains this winter. We likely are already in a drought again here in the high desert, even with the downpour we experienced last night. Watering plants already has been limited to once a week, so the plants are feasting on the available moisture and we are celebrating a for us not so ordinary rain fall. I ran out first thing this morning with camera in hand and captured some of the splendor on green leaves mostly, as there are not yet too many blossoms out in bloom.
