A wee little shower

Just looked out the window of the Roanoke Times to see, to my surprise, a shower of heavy rain falling. I hadn't been following radar closely, so I zipped over to the National Weather Service radar on the Internet to see if there were any kind of large storm near us. Nope. Just this tiny little shower over the central and eastern part of Roanoke city, already weakening from what it was earlier. And now ... it's over and the sun's back out. Just a little summer showers, aided by afternoon heating and moisture converging against our mountain ridges, with no sign of a drought-breaker in sight. And so we move into August.
