Saturday morning early I took the saw via the SW gate along the Two Friends Trail to the small pit. There I cleared away the redbud trunk and vines that had broken and blocked the trail. South I cut away a dead cedar that blocked the trail to the Boundary fence. I saw one deer. The Woods were very dry.
Between 4 and 5 PM the rain began - a gentle 1/10 inch.. perfect to wet the soil and soak in. An hour later the rain strengthened. By 8 o'clock we had more than an inch. It looks like it may continue for most of 24 hours if we're lucky. We need 16 inches to end the drought, according to the NOAA Palmer Drought Index data. Norman, normal total annual precip = 37 inches.
