Happy is a perfect word! I am, too.

Speaking of rivers, we need rain so badly. The river is down 4 feet from its usual level. It is very unusual for here, especially this early in the summer.

Ahhhhhh. That is sad. I live in a place that is so historically dry that we can never go past "USGS Moderate Drought" We are the only place in the south half of Arizona that isn't in "Extreme".

Like for example: The level of the Colorado at Hoover Dam is as low as it has ever been since the original filling in 1931. It's the largest impoundment in the US.

I'll have pictures in a couple of weeks. Where I take them will depend on how I head north but I already know that it will be gruesome.
