…off and on showers are forecast through tomorrow. Yesterday’s noon deluge produced .1″ and the overnight rain another .3″, according to Bill Russ’s backyard rain gauges, bringing the year-to-date total to 10.65″. The moisture is welcome news to spring blooms, such as this Thyme-leaved Fuschia captured by photographer Frances Freyberg.
