Fall Has Arrived

We dodged that one. A few sprinkles and it is actually warm out. I think it will rain more tomorrow. I felt fall last week. It was cold and windy here.

I had heard that you were going to get hit harder than us on this one.

Wow! you're getting hammered.
We had the remainder of that Phillipines storm pass over Tuesday. 3 inches of rain fell at home in the Central Valley, where normal seasonal total is 19 inches.
The wind covered the streets in town with debris. That junk on the near right blew out of my oak tree in the back yard, and there's another VW-sized pile offstage left as well. The neighbor across the street had a mess too.
And 4 inches fell at the ranch, out nearer the coast. It must have been all at once, because I've never seen so much topsoil wash downhill. Last weekend this was dusty disced ground, now after I got here I see the furrows were running with mud.
This was far from The Big One, but it's fair to call it a Fairly Big One. Especially for the first storm of the season.
Now today the storm is gone and its back to late summer again, sunny and near 80.

I think Indian summer forgot about us Buckeyes this year Doc.
We were supposed to get snow today, but it never happened.

That jackrabbit is adorable Chris! 
He looks like one, especially in that picture! Here's another. Blacktail jackrabbit, Lepus californicus, actually. Do you have them there?
The new neighbor must be feeding them. I've never seen any response aside from them fleeing, but today this little guy walked half the distance toward me then sat down for that portrait. Then he sniffed around on the ground like I was supposed to toss something to him. Then he walked off. But as soon as I took a step to follow him, he left at full speed.
Thanks PG!
Geez Chris, you have peacocks and jackrabbits walking around on your property, wanting to make friends.
That must be like paradise.
Love the pics you share my dear.
