Another day.... another problem...

And this one's a doosey.

Day started off nice enough. Sunny and warm until noon. Nothing new there. Clouds formed... Rain? No can't be...Haven't seen rain here since Christ walked the earth. Look down the hill and watched the veil as it marched up toward us.

Yep, that's rain! ALLFUCKING right.

The plants is this log are all rain virgins. And today looks like that will change.
It took a while but a light rain began. Just what the doctor ordered. The clouds came down and we were in the fog. Pushed my big old chair out on the deck and just smiled.

The old Hawaiians had over 100 words for rain. Each one describes a different kind of rain. Ran the gauntlet, from fog and mist, to light, then hard,then pounding rain. And this afternoon I saw them all.

Two hours later god kicked up the dial, no problem, then again, then again, then again....well you get the idea. By 4 pm it sounded like a John Bonham solo on my roof.... Ohhh shit. An inch an hour for the last 2 hours. This, boys and girls is not good.

As usual the sunset ended the deluge. Even saw another beautiful sunset.

Plants are thrashed. From my quick walk thru I count 4 in the dirt. Big one came through ok. Wide one, not so much.

My rain virgins just got gang raped. They pulled the train, first time.

Now comes the fun part. Another clusterfuck of a day. I will be up early before the sun. I need 4 frames, a mile of fishing line, lots of 1/4 inch drip line and and no sun tomorrow. Took some quick pics.

Pic 1 is the plant seen in my what a difference a day makes post. Ain't that the truth
Pic 2 is looking up the hill before the flood. They came thru ok.
Pic 3 is a cali girl after the rain. Here comes the mold! Took a lot of leaves off her yesterday. Fat lot of good it will do me.
