Jul 2015

The rain interrupted our dinner party last night in Paso on the patio which was so unexpected that we continued sitting in the rain because the sensation was so foreign.

Then on my drive back down to AG, I was entertained with flashes of lightning--beautiful. It has rained a real rain most of the day in AG. We need more days like this on the Central Coast and in California in general.

Hopefully you all have your rain barrells out to catch the runoff. Of course that is mostly for jwirr Jul 2015 #23

We are gardeners but we don't have rain barrels set up. Le Taz Hot Jul 2015 #24

If the rain does not continue the barrells won't do you any good anyhow. I like the idea of jwirr Jul 2015 #25
