Rained most of the night, not hard but a relatively steady rain. That is sort of unusual for our mountains. Downpours are more common. Very welcome except for interfering with a little planned dead tree removal.

We've had rain everyday now for nearly two weeks. Sometimes just a few short showers, other times major downpours with hail. Yesterday's forecast was for 20%, we got all of that! Got the gentle overnight rain last night as well on this side of the mountains.
Not complaining! When you live in the woods a wet forest is not a bad thing! Does put a damper on outside chores though.

Too unusual though. The nice thing is that we have not had a real monsoon downpour, unlike a few areas of our state that is experiencing flooding. I love these rains that make puddles and not flowing streams.

I planted (scattered) several pounds of native NM grass seeds in some areas that are still sparsely grassed since the fire. Mostly Blue Grama. Seed courtesy (free) of the local soul & water conservation agency.
I raked the wet soil, spread seed and raked over again. Now we need some warm weather and enough mild rain to keep it moist.

Left the house for the cabin yesterday, big heat expected today. Sure enough, 10 degrees cooler just a half hour away. A friend says it’s actually 105. Cabin thermo says 91. More tomorrow

Lol, we had 63F today for a high (pretty much 20 less than average!) and rain am and pm with a few hours respite in between. Was going to go to cabin but stayed home....did change out the leaking kitchen faucet and some other odd jobs.

At 63F I’d be lighting the wood stove! Actually last night is the first night this year with no all night burn. Still low 70s this morning. Kind of miss poking the morning coals with coffee in hand..

52F outside here at home this morning. Indoors holding at 72 with no help from heating or cooling. Rained yesterday. NWS says a 76 F high today and sunny. Very nice.

Still a heat wave going on here. Was supposed to cut back for the 4th but now supposed to hang on another day or two. Still managed to take in the local pancake breakfast and an afternoon friends bbq but nice to get back to the shady cabin. Skipped the parade and fireworks, heat too much for the old bones. At least the wood stove getting a break.

We are getting pretty tired of the rain.... it's went from "we need it" to "well the rain is keeping the fire danger really low" to... "we've had enough! " Since June 1st we have had only 11 days without at least a sprinkle or two. Yesterday was actually pretty nice and as we were sitting on the couch after dinner I remarked that it hadn't rained... shortly after, it rained!

After a long day yesterday working in the hangar putting the wings on the new plane I headed up to the cabin this morning. It started raining after lunch, which was the perfect excuse to take a nice nap on the screened porch. Now the sun is shining again.
