This morning I was awakened long before the alarm went off. It was almost 6:00 a.m., although with the Fall Back of time on the weekend, it was almost 7:00 in the morning really. There was no light peeking through the heavy drapes in our room yet. I heard the steady pitter-patter outside on my window. That’s music to any Californian’s ears. We’ve had a long drought and we are so looking forward to some rain.
I’ll sacrifice some clear sunny days with an expanse of blue above. I’ll give up some t-shirt and flip-flop afternoons sipping lemonade on the patio. I can put up with a week of non-stop rain and not complain one bit. I’ve been doing my part to conserve.
As I made may way out of the garage, I looked up to the front of our home. Aside from the fog lifting, the wet driveway was a welcome sight. I imagined the Redwoods nodding in agreement. It’s going to be a good day.
May you have gotten more rain since that November day! Hope you will have an enjoyable weekend.

Yes, we have, Otto. Lots! We are closer to restoring some reserves. But people have learned to conserve and we in California are changing how we make decisions about our environment.

I bet it was. Now you do need some good follow up rain! 🙂

It has been a slow tease. A sprinkling for a few hours and then nothing for another week. Sigh!

Oh..I hope you have a good downpour for a few hours or so. That’s what the earth needs.
