Rain

It rained most of the night. After I showered and got dressed, I turned on the TV to watch the morning news. There was no signal. It was dark outside. After got light, I went outside, pricked up a long PVC pipe and moved the end of a wet tree branch, When I went back in the house. The TV came on. I read a chapter in the Book of Mormon. I had soup for lunch; I also ate some topaz melon. 

This cap for a two inch pipe. It is full of rainwater.

Here is water running at the base of a fruit tree located west of greenhouse five.

I covered the topaz melons with sheets of burlap to protect them from freezing. The temperature may go down 32 degrees.
