The computer took a spaz and I lost my posting. Grrr.

We got 0.17 inches of rain yesterday. The local weather people seemed glad that the system was moving away. I could slap them. All they like is 90+ and sunny.

They are calling for a high of 61F today.

I feel like I am being cheated out of a wildflower year. For me, it's like not having Christmas. We could still have wildflowers IF it would rain some more. It is early in the season, but they need to get water now so they can start growing.

This is ceanothus from this date last year. Last year was a drier than average year but not nearly as bad as this year. The ceanothus are not blooming this year. They are shedding leaves in order to stay alive. They look pretty bad.
