Rainy Season

It is not always dry in Fernley: the rainy season lasted from 8:05 to 8:15 PM this evening. Unfortunately, that coincided with when Lisa and I were out for a walk after dinner. Commenting on how warm it was, Lisa didn't bring a jacket. That warm was obviously being pushed in front of the small shower that (literally) blew through town as we were walking. At one point we were head down and eyes covered against the blowing dust, for it hadn't rained enough to dampen the dust. No real harm done, but we cut our walk short and headed back to the house.

Lisa had been doing some painting earlier today, but that was all early enough in the day that it looks like it had dried out and took no harm from the brief shower. Lisa commented that, even better, it's only the painted surfaces that were exposed to the rain, not the unpainted surfaces that she expects to paint soon. Painting hasn't gone as quickly as she had hoped, but today she finished off the first of the four gallons of Sherwin-Williams paint we bought a few months back.

Incidentally, Portland's dry summer also ended recently. Friday's weather was to be 'intermittent showers,' which turned out to mean 'torrential downpour.' This will probably last a while - say, until February.
