Winter Has Come to CA

After a LONG dry spell, we are finally getting the much needed rain out here that we've all been waiting for. Right now we are awaiting the next storm which is due within a few days. I am really glad that we may not have to ration our water and get charged heavy fees but I can't stand the rain. Going out is such a pain when you have young ones and have a ton of junk that you have to take with you. Then there's the stroller too...blech.

Our backyard has been totally neglected since the rain didn't let up for more than a day in the last week or so. The weeds are almost two feet tall now and seeding so there will be tons of stuff to hack at out there, even later. During the n between periods it's kinda crappy because we're running all over trying to get whatever we can done before it comes back again. We love to sit out there but all of the patio furniture is still covered in tarps and stuff and taking it out isn't even worth it. I can't wait for spring to come and we can clean up and get planting again. I have finally run out of my homemade pesto and I can't wait to get the basil in the ground. YUM!
