First rain of the saison

In the last two nights we got about 30mm and 10mm of rain. This is wonderful news for us! We haven't had any significant rain for four months. That was normal a few years ago, now it is a pleasantly short dry season. In summer, we had little water for irrigation because the spring that supplies us with water had less water than before. I have heard that the water flows underground from the Sierra Nevada to the spring. And in the Sierra Nevada it rained much less than normal last season. The same with us: there was heavy rain only in December and in June. Now we hope for more water from the clouds in the coming season.
