Rainy Weather


It's raining today and supposed to for several more days. The last time our backyard was this wet, two of our trees started to lean and ended up almost horizontal. We still have them. They could go any time if the ground is sodden since they're top-heavy.

I hope this is an artifact of an El Nino weather system. They often lead to lots of rain. Our area is in a nearly constant drought condition; so this is welcome to most of us. My husband doesn't like when it rains because the days are dreary and he doesn't have much energy on these kinds of days. I look forward to fewer water-related issues with the farmers.

I'm tired of hearing about there not being enough water. Of course, there isn't. Everyone wastes water! I hate to see the city water the medians during a rain storm. I hate to see people wash off their driveways (even though I do once or so a year). I hate to hear people complain about government telling them when and how much to water, etc. Many people wouldn't conserve if there weren't rules about doing it.

Rant, rant, rant...
