Yesterday was perfect with plenty of sun and clear skies most of the day.  Then in the early evening, a thunderstorm developed just to our west, and we received another 0.18″ of rain from it.  It was a bit of a surprise and just happened suddenly.  Regardless, I think we have enough rain for a while.  Today, we have mostly clear skies with a few scattered clouds, but temperatures are much cooler.  Still not a bad day.
