Rain! We had rain! Most of the county got close to an inch on Wednesday, some inland valleys and the mountains got even more. Our gardens perked up, and surely the rain will bring late blooms to the desert, if not the backyard. But we are still woefully short for this rain season so keep up with your waterwise ways.
