Rainy summer in CT

You remember how, two years ago, the well ran dry here on Dog Lane?

Stanley dug the well by hand, of course, and in 50-ish years it had never failed. But in the dry, dry summer of 2007, we had six weeks of getting our water through a garden hose from the neighbor. Our drinking water had to be carried in from the spring in Willimantic.

Anyway, not this year! Here's a graph of the water levels in our well for 2008 (blue) and this year (red). The blue line is an auto-generated "trend" line -- I actually stopped measuring the well last year in mid-August. (I didn't keep records of the drought of 2007, but the bars would have been basically invisible throughout September.)

Today's reading, at 111 inches, is more than we usually have in the spring! The weatherman on the teevee last night said that Connecticut has had its wettest June-July (combined) since they started keeping records.

Hope you're dry, wherever you are.
