We got 2-1/2" of rain last night, and luckily none of the high winds. We needed rain badly, but usually when it comes down that fast, it all runs off. Amazingly, the soil was in just the state of dryness that it hadn't gotten hard-baked yet, and it just soaked it all up.

Of course rabbits also got into my green beans and stripped all the leaves off. Sigh. Still, they left the stems and growing shoots, so *if* I've got all the holes closed up where they were getting in, the weather should be ideal for the plants to come back quickly. Fingers crossed.
