May Showers

I had mentioned how dry the winter was with the lack of snow and warmer than normal temperatures. The end of April and May have started to make up for the lack of moisture. (It also may be due to the fasts we have had for moisture.) It seems that every weekend it has rained good amounts of 2 to 4 inches and then cool weather. The mountains have received snow on the peaks while it rains in the valley.

The middle of May the pattern changed from every day rain. Instead of solid storms for a day or two the clouds would building up and then thunder and a down pour each afternoon.

It is nearing the end of the month now and I have still not turned my sprinklers on the lawn and it has never been so green.
