Wednesday, 7:45 AM. 64 degrees, wind SW, light. The channel is slightly wrinkled, the sky is cloudless at present, but the barometer predicts more rain, which we got a full 2” of yesterday afternoon and evening.
The birds are singing exultantly, and the ground has soaked up every drop of rain. I will not have to water street trees, nor fertilize (thunderstorms fix atmospheric nitrogen in the raindrops).This has been the driest spring I have experienced here, but we are on the road to normalcy. The bird bath is brimming, the rain barrels are full, and I should have had a little faith in the barometer, which after all has to be right at least some of the time.
