We’ve needed RAIN desperartly here in California………….So the Rain Gods heard us.

I like to curl up in my Recliner and Watch Good Shows on TV or spend time blogging here on Wow and other places.

Since I live in Carmel…the weather is mostly good year around….the rain we’ve had is welcome and creates it’s own excitement on the coast when it roars in. I go out walking regardless, and indoors have client projects to work on so the sound of the rain is pleasant accompaniment. If I’m out and it’s raining I get two coffees and stop at my friend’s shop on the way back. It has a fairy-tale quality esp in the rain, like a separate world. She has excellent taste, and I love her tales about her father who was a very attractive and much decorated admiral, and her beautiful mother. Photos of them have the kind of magic that can’t be ignored.

The biggest storm danger here in the Del Monte Forest are falling trees, and on the rocks being swept off by rogue waves. Some are concerned about being out and running into the local mountain lion nicknamed "Nice Kitty" that he might be more ornery when uncomfortably wet.  Today….about ten deer were coming out from behind a fence and darting one by one across a twisty blind curve so I stood in the middle and stopped traffic till they were all safely across. That was the big excitement in the un-City…and that the butcher still had roasted rosemary-garlic-lemon chicken left.
