Rain began early last evening and continued throughout the night.   It didn’t rain hard but just a nice, steady rain which left 0.12 in in my gauge as of 9 AM.  It continues at this time with more on the way.  It’s amazing how a couple of 80 degree days can make the leaves suddenly pop out on the trees and bushes.  It’s a welcome sight to be sure.
