Rain settled in for an hour or so yesterday afternoon.   Didn't seem like a lot (in mid-west terms) but water accumulated quickly on the surface and James tells me that the lake bed surface will be closed to vehicles for about one week before it dries.

Interesting to live near a lake with no fish and no water.   When there is water the lake is closed...   Where else can the word "lake" be an oxymoron?

Will hike around this morning and see if the sand turns up any fresh animal prints.   Should be interesting.

Here's my art photo from the other day...   great color matching by a graffiti artist.
