Yesterday we had this nice soft rain all afternoon and it looked like we got about an inch total:

Today it was coming down in sheets for a while, but we also had a good amount of steady rain.  It’s raining again right now. If we get some more rains like this we’ll get lots of wildflowers and a good Joshua tree bloom.
