Rain, glorious gentle rain!

It started to sprinkle the day before yesterday, gently irrigating the land. We got about 7.5 mm on Friday when the rain continued with more vigour, but still gently, not inundating the parched soil. Towards evening, the sun came out. Yesterday we got 13.3 mm, and it continues in passing showers today. It is lashing out there at the moment, and we've had wind gusting more than 47 knots. So our total rainfall for the month to date is a whopping 23 mm, not even 1/4 of the 99.2 mm LTA. They are promising eight days of rain now before the high returns and a heat wave follows. 

Nevertheless, everything is going to grow even more robustly now. Let the vines bear fruit.
