The Perfect Storm

A couple of weeks ago we got a lovely "Welcome to Fall/Winter" storm in Sacramento. It just so happened to be the only day off I had that week. Normally this just might about drive me nuts cause I love to run and play outside. However, it had been such a long time since I'd really just vegged out and took full advantage. I read like six hours of the day, watched movies with Olivia and Adam and made good food. Olivia couldn't stand staying inside so she and Adam puts on their rain coats and puddled it up out in the raging wind and rain. We ended up with a fruit tree on its side and my tomatoes nearly uprooted. They were toast anyway. My chard however is still going strong! The weather is incredible, 70's and sunny all day with cold nights. I'm sure the storm was just a hint of what will come: 4 months of straight rain. I might be doing a lot of vegging.

They sure are having fun. I would take 4 months of straight rain over 4 months of straight snow. Whenever I wonder why so many people want to live in CA and then I remember the near perfect weather almost all year long.
