Wow, it’s been an exciting day here in So Cal! I know folks back east will laugh but you should have seen the rainfall we got today! I mean, there was a LOT of it! I had a very scary drive home from an appointment when I got caught in a massive downpour. My Mini Cooper behaved like a champ, fording all of the flooded highways, making its way past a lot of not-so-lucky stalled cars (wish I could say the same about my nerves – it was a white knuckle drive home, for sure!). The water was over the hood at a couple of points. Our yard was under a couple inches of water by the time the worst of the storm passed (we shouldn’t need to deep water the lemon or lime trees any time soon!).  This is a photo of a street about 6 blocks from us. Our street is happily on higher ground and not subject to this kind of flooding (well, at least not so far). The weather forecast says that the worst of the storms will hit tomorrow. So much for the drought!
