rain!

Not trying to be annoying, but I cannot help shouting with glee - it started raining last night in the middle of the night, and rained real rain until about 11AM this morning. All of the spots under our big trees got completely wet, and the street gutter is running. I don't know the number, but it was so much that we have turned off our irrigation system (at least for a week, then we will see).

They are predicting more rain for Friday. Holding my breath hoping this is a harbinger of good things to come - all we need up here in No Cal is for what they call the "storm door" to stay open - last year it was totally shut by the "ridiculously resilient ridge" of high pressure until Feb 1 (not my words - that is what the weather people called it!). The same number of storms as usual came across the Pacific, but they were all forced way North instead of coming here.
