This is about life in my gardens. One is an acre on a hillside in Laguna Beach, California and the other is an acre in San Juan Capistrano, California.

On Days Like This
It has been quite the day for weather here in Southern California! We have had rare thunder and lightening storms all day with lots of rain. I can't even remember the last time we had storms like this, it has been that long. We need the rain and I am not complaining. Our many trees with their deep roots will be happy for a long time to come. The salts that accumulate in the soil from the alkaline tap water will be flushed out and the natural balance will be restored. On days like this it is a nice to enjoy the garden - from inside!
Hi Sheila! How nice to get what you need! We don't need any rains so far, but I know, they are coming...
ReplyDeleteThere is something about a good stormy day that makes you just want to stop, watch and slow down the crazy pace. I would LOVE a day like that -- tho I hate to complain, here in IL we have had the driest fall on record.
ReplyDeleteHere it has been rainy lately too, but is a very nice rain, since it has a cool breeze to sit and enjoy the garden
