    I am in southern California and in case you haven't heard, we are in drought conditions but that's about to change. We are expecting two storms back to back and as the morning has passed, the skies have become very dark and the temps of dropped. We desperately need this rain and even though I had planned to finish up putting some plants into my garden, it will have to wait. I'm hopeful that the people who live in the areas where the Station Fire (In Los Angeles) burned will be protected from any mud slide. It would be quite serious.

    Fingers crossed for no mud slides...
    Pretty pic -- do the rocks serve a drainage purpose as well as being pretty?

    I hope you get the much needed rain but not the mudslides. I have family in California and know how dry it has been. I wish you could have some of our rain. We had 2 1/4 inches last week and it is working on as much this week. I like your blue flowers. I need to think about starting plants but will wait until after the new year starts. dooley

    Lovely photo, you've got colour! We can swap, if you can figure out how I can get our rain and snow over to your place. :D

    I hope you'll get your rain and no catastrophies attached.
