The rumors proved to be true!  It rained all night and will continue on and off for days.  The temps are breaking as well and becoming more seasonal.  All my parched trees and wildflowers are happy, so I’m happy.  It’s a welcome relief.  Plus for once I don’t have to water.

After the rainy spell, I can finally get out there and plant all my tree saplings, transplant natives, clean up the garden beds, resume serious soil amending, and plant more wildflower seeds and fall/winter greens.  I can get back into my natural element.

Here are some early morning scenes in the rain.  Misu was fascinated by the wet stuff!
