... but only last week I was wishing for more rain. April Showers and all....

We didn't get a lot of rain over the winter here in California. Everything turned green back in November, but it was already starting to turn brown -- before Spring even officially began!

So I was wishing for Rain.

And we had some for a day.

Then a couple of days later another good day long soft rain (the best kind).

A day of windy sun and now last night/today, it is rather stormy.

As I write this post the sun came out!!

It will be clear for a couple days, and then ... more rain!

I couldn't be happier. My countryside is turning green again! So this will give us a few more weeks of Spring, and I couldn't be happier.

April Showers Bring May Flowers.
