Headed South

5:25 AM

After the rain last night, I headed south on the levee for my early morning walk to avoid the muddy section of the levee on my usual walk northward.

The Rio Grande at 7:30 p.m. this evening. !Milgro! There’s water!

The Conservancy released water from Abiquie Reservoir. Why now? I have no idea. It’s past the growing season, and most of the cottonwoods in the bosque are suffering or bare, possibly dead. The release of water might be due with the agreements between Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico. But it’s too little, too late for the farmers and the trees.

Hunderdth Of An Inch

Starting off September with 100th of an inch of rain that left rings around the moon.

Do you see faces in the clouds?
