It is a curious day to be publishing this post: We got .10 inches of water over the past 24 hours for the first time since April. A wetting rain. So it feels a little less droughty than before. On the other hand, droughts are made from an accumulation of dry days over a period of months and years. Droughts take time, . . . the vice tightening slowly. What we found this week is that the little pond that we visit every summer on the Markagunt Plateau no longer has any water. The picture (above) is from Monday; the picture (below) is from July 2017.
