10 percent chance

Yesterday Donna baled the rest of her hay.  Her daughter and son-in-law aren't coming back to get the hay until tomorrow or the next day.  The weather forecast only had a 10 percent chance of rain today.  Usually that means no rain.  This afternoon two large blue clouds were forming.  So I went down and we gathered the 45 hay bales and put them in her hayshed. She drove the tractor and I tossed the bales on the trailer.  As I put the last hay bale in the shed it began to rain.   After that rain cloud passed another formed and came.  I believe the official total was three hundreds of an inch of rain.  Not a bale soaker, but enough rain that one doesn't want their bales to get wet.

We are missing out on the hot weather.  Highs in the 70s.  Cold nights.  The low several mornings ago was 37.  This morning's low was 36.  Feels more like September than July.
