It's starting to feel like Oregon weather. One minute it's raining, then it's sunny for an hour, then rain again. Looking more like the motto now is, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute."

And no, 1ATP. Never shut up.

Yesterday was amazing. Today? Not so much and they are talking up to 3 inches more rain by Wed.

Thought there was a climate changed induced drought in your state ?

Yesterday was good here, as well. Today, stormy, cold, wet ... again. I'm taking it as it is and won't complain because we've been in desperate need of rain here for the past several years.

I don't know if the abundance we've been getting will help with trees in the state or if it's too late. What we see above ground does not reflect the story of what's happening underneath. Trees in this state have been struggling and are drier than people imagine. This is why (my theory) they've been burning at an accelerated rate during a fire. They may look green and healthy but beneath the bark and inside the trunk, they're dry.

Just like any plant/shrub or other form of vegetation. When you see a plant that's wilting, a good watering might make it perk up but sometimes it's too late and the plant dies. I've lost a lot of flowering shrubs from trying to save on watering. Now I look for drought resistant plants.

If only the geniuses who find billions of dollars for the low speed train to nowhere would fund reservoirs and catchment basins, we would be out of the drought forever.

I'm ignoring this.
I may just sleep through the next half of the week.

The only plants I have left in my yard that need supplemental water, are some forty-year-old hedges that are on a drip system that's set to work July-September. The rest of the time they are in Darwin mode. However with all the rain this year, they are super perky and green. I almost forgot how they can look when they get a regular soaking. This is the wettest year I can recall in a long time.

That's good This is the wettest year we've had in a very long time. The snow pack in the Sierra is the most it's seen since '82. That is something! Depending on how hot the summer is up there, we could have snow on the highest summit come this next November. I've seen that before too. I love it!
