Moisture At Last
by John Weckerle
Recent storms have left New Mexico Central headquarters high and dry, passing to the east and west as they bring moisture to – well, points east and west, and north and south for that matter. That is, until yesterday, when the skies opened up and dropped a greatly appreciated 1.1 inches of water on our location in 24 hours. The rain barrels are full, and we suspect that there’s much more water in the big tanks today than there was yesterday at this time. The weather forecast indicates we’ll have a couple of relatively sunny days, and we’re hoping for more rain before too long; if we’re lucky, it’ll be in time for one last burst of wildflowers. In the meantime, we’re enjoying the early morning “special effects” left behind by the storm.
