Raindrops!


Raindrops on Plumeria Blooms

     Over the past seventy two hours, we have received 9.6 inches of rain.  That's a big deal since our yearly average rainfall is about 18 inches.  No damage in the garden but the rain has thrashed a lot of blooms.  The forecast calls for more rain tonight and tomorrow morning.  I like looking at the raindrops on the plants.

*** Update, the 5 day total was 11.2 inches of rain!  
A New record for the month of November. ***
