Storm Watch ~ Wind and Rain in Southern California

Hello.  We are on storm watch down here in southern California.  We had the first storm arrive on Thursday and we are experiencing the second storm today.  And, we are expected to get another one before it's over. I love it!

It's cold out there (at least for southern California) and the rain is coming down hard.

The pool is getting some free water!  Yeah...due to the severe drought we've experienced, we have had to be very cautious with our water use.  Luckily, the pool water lasts about five years before having to drain it (although we have top it off every now and then).

It's a perfect day for me although I am aware of the danger out there on the roads.  Rain is a common occurrence where I'm from in western Washington but down here the roads become very slick and dangerous.

In addition to the rain, we have a high wind watch in effect, too.  The hills around us are a glorious shade of green; the kind of green that only Mother Nature can give it.

Lilly is snug in one of her favorite chairs where she can sleep and watch the storm at the same time.

As for me, I will soon be snug in my chair finishing my knitting projects for my little grandchildren.  Here's a sneak peak of one of them. . .

Stay safe and warm dear friends wherever you are.  

With my best wishes,

Pat
