We finally [finally] saw some rain come down on our drought-dry lawn today. The rain is also supposed to be hitting the areas affected by the Swan Lake fire. Hopefully, this will calm things down in that region and perhaps contain it entirely. Meanwhile, I am ready for anything that can get rid of the persistent smoke that's been plaguing our area as well. Unfortunately, at this moment, it seems and smells like the rain is driving the smoke closer towards the ground (and thus where we breathe).
We had guests who arrived at our cabin tonight. They made the trek through the fire area on the highway and said that the conditions were not that bad. They were surprised that they had to follow a pilot car, especially since both lanes seemed to be open. It was interesting to have visitors who were actually hoping to have rain for the duration of their trip.
This rain is certainly needed. In just the few hours that it has been raining, I've already seen a noticeable difference in the color of our lawn and plants. I am certain that I saw the grass grow significantly in that same amount of time.
I am so glad it's raining ... even if it means that I really need to mow my yard now.
