We received just over an inch of rainfall before daylight this morning. It more than doubled our rainfall totals since July 26. It helped a little, but the creek is still dry except a few small pot holes, and it only raised the pond about 1-1/8 inches. Some areas near here have had five inches or more this past week. More rain is forecast for late next week, but that has been the case for many weeks, and when we get close to the forecast date the rain is taken out of the forecast.
