70ºF One day and Snow the next.<\/p>\n

On the other hand I am glad to have the rain, even if it turns into snow late at night.<\/p>\n

The dogs like it too. But they don’t really like having to pose for photos. Hence the nose and face in shadow.<\/p>\n

I was hoping for a really long storm. It would have been nice to have the water and I’ll admit I’d have liked to have seen the wash flood.<\/p>\n

I like the sound of rushing water especially if it’s reshaping the wash to it’s natural contours and filling in the gaping ravine that the flood control district created.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, I love the Grand Canyon, the one in Arizona. But the one behind my house is a really bad imitation.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, I don’t think I’ll be hearing the rushing of water anytime soon. All the predictions say that this year is going to be dryer than the previous couple years.<\/p>\n

Time to rework the sprinkler system to drip water so that I can at least preserve the raspberries, blackberries & grapes. The landscaping in the front yard is mostly desert stuff so thankfully I don’t have to worry about it too much. <\/p>\n

I was planning on a vegetable garden this year, but given the drought conditions I’m rethinking that. I don’t know if the cost of water would exceed the cost of the vegetables I’d be able to grow. I suspect it would once the drought conditions get worse. <\/p>\n

Some places in California are already sending out the “Water Police” looking for wasteful people. I’m sure that Rationing is next and that we’ll see water prices shoot up along with penalty surcharges for any baseline overages.<\/p>\n

It’s going to be a long dry summer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
