Back in San Diego the rain is over for the season. Maybe it'll rain in November. I was standing in my yard watering and feeling sad about that. (Please don't tell the authorities that I was wasting precious water.) But then I figured that I'd be soon be visiting the rain in the Pacific Northwest. Of course the weather up here hadn't been a disappointment. The meteorologist on KATU said that today was the first day that she hadn't predicted rain since February.

(By the way, this is NOT my back yard after I over-watered.)
