In no small part because of the percentage of that rain that usually comes in the second half of the year, rather than the first. I do hope this means something...

Not a full-on soak, but a fortuitous beginning to the annual rain year. (For you non-Californians, the water year here is measured July 1-June 30.)

There I was at 6:35, reading my paper on our patio with a cup of chicory coffee, when I hear weird pitter-pats. I thought it was some bird-related mischief -- such sounds usually are. It was only when the raindrops got strong enough to penetrate the chinaberry tree did I realize, "Duh, it's raining!" Totally unexpected, and totally welcome.
