It's really raining! It's amazing and wonderful and cleansing. It smells so good. I feel like we haven't had rain here since the Clinton administration!
I was just telling fj how weird it is that I haven't seen a drop of rain since we arrived here in LA, and according to the weather patterns, I'm not likely to see any until November. Every day is just like the day before; sunny and warm, until the sun goes down, then cool.
It has only been a week and a half, but it is starting to get to me. I would like a cool, refreshing, cleansing rain every once in a while!
I moved to California in May (this was also the first time I had ever been there). I was delighted and amazed that you could live without screens. I quickly got used to having the doors and windows open. And then, after a month or so (I'm not as fast as you), I started noticing all the dust. And then I got the explaination about why California was called the golden bear...
At least in Seattle we usually get a few more rainy days than lately. But, even here, we don't see those wonderful thunderstorms. We do, however, fairly often get fabulous rainbows.
I wonder if it's the effects of global warming? Here in Indiana the lawns are usually all dried out and brown this time of year, but not so this year! There has been a steady supply of rain all Summer and the lawn is lush and green.
Hi - just wanted to comment about your (three year old) entry about the origin about the word "festuche" - my mother (an IBM employee) used it when talking to me last weekend while I was home visiting, and caused quite a dinner table discussion. We broke out the OED and couldn't find it there, and my little brother booted up the computer and tried dictionary.com. Failing that, he googled the term. Imagine my surprise when the usually somber and sullen 22 year old burst out in hysterical laughter upon finding your story. It was good to hear him laugh, and makes for a great story.
