(Merced NWR)
We are between rainstorms today (phew). No sun expected, but drizzle vs. torrential flood-causing rains. We have a friend who, like Rapunzel, may be stuck at her house 'cause the driveway connecting her to the main road is occasionally under water when it's really rainy. She assured us, a few days ago, though, that she's stocked up, so she can wait. =)
Yesterday a frog decided our back porch (which was 40% pond) was his new home, and an nice place to sing a song. Very cute. I love that during some of the most intense downpour when you think "Wow, it's awful out there!" you then hear a froggie singing so happily. All depends upon your perspective.

LOL. We had an arboreal salamander (first sighting here on the property) seek refuge on our porch yesterday during a deluge. Two inches of rain before noon wasn't a good start to the day. I hope we all get to dry out a little before the next wave comes through!
ReplyDeleteMy sister in Rancho Cucamonga said her rain gauge overflowed, and she was wondering where she could download plans for an ark.
ReplyDelete@Curbstone: arboreal salamander!!! How VERY cool! Totally envious! =) Yes, I heard from Bear that the next storm, after 2 days of... wait for it... SUNSHINE, will be very weak so won't drown us. Phew!
ReplyDelete@CP: Wow. That's impressive! Apparently from Friday to Monday a weather station near us got seven inches of rain.
