And yes, it was raining, it was pouring…seemed like non-stop. There are many trees down, and that’s always a little heartbreaking. Many had been weakened by our long years of drought and just couldn’t hold up to the winds and rain. We had power outages, reminding us of how dependent we are on all of our conveniences, and we now have streams running where there had been no streams before! And beautiful wild flowers are popping up all over the ranch. Sheldon doesn’t care much for the rain. He’d rather stay inside as it pours down. When he relaxes his lower lip like that, I always imagine he’s making an editorial comment or just wants to be adorable! We need the rain and supposedly have more coming. But today it is sunny and we are loving it!
