The mysterious decline of lima beans

The evening approaches. As the day progressed, clouds began gathering from the south and west. By five there was a serious rain, the first in months. The smell of the wet pavement after a long dry spell reminds me of childhood, walking home from school, and having a squall spatter its way across the landscape. I heard in passing that heavy rain is falling out in Harney County- flash floods. Wonder if any fell on the forest fires over Deschutes way? That would be a benefit. The evening is cool and gray. I'm in the city house getting ready to head east for the evening. Ah, the complexities of life.
