Raining on you...

We finally got some rain yesterday, although it was much too brief for me. I would have liked to see it continue nicely all night. At least the transplanted roses got enough to settle them in.

This time of year, there is always a possibility that this will be the last rain we see for months. It always seems to catch me by surprise. Somewhere in April or May I suddenly remember that we haven't had any rain since March. As it is, it is time to check out all the irrigation systems to make sure everything is functioning well. I have several hundred feet of soaker hose and 2 major installations of drip tubing so that I don't have to spend all day watering during the high heat of the SoCal Summer.

Let us up that there are still a few more inches of rain in the clouds before the Summer rolls in.
