Rain dance

Looking at the radar this morning, I saw a line of showers to the north. It looked like rain was drenching Northern Mississippi and Alabama. It seems the jet stream shifted which pushed cooler weather southward and all along the boundary where cool air met warm, it was raining.

Normally our humidity is so high that makes the air feel like the consistency of a Pepsi. But the drought pushed all moisture out to sea and our humidity is similar to what it is most of the time in Colorado.

I stepped outside to feed the chickens and survey the sky for an analog weather report. There were clouds sweeping down from the north, but the sun peeped through and highlighted the tops of the trees. It was a beautiful thing to see.

What this means for us is that the rain came all the way to with 15 miles of our house to the north, but the moisture dissipated before it made it to the ground.

The weatherman says that we should get rain by the end of the week. Jilda and I plan to do a rain ceremony out in the yard on Friday if it hasn't rained. I'm not sure what this will involve, and I'm quite sure I don't want to know until it's time. I will gladly sacrifice my dignity for a little bit of rain.
