I don't have much to say because I've been in the house listening to all the rain pouring down. One more day of rain, then about a week of sunshine before the next storm system moves in. I hope they don't try to tell me that no dent has been made in the drought!
Coming back from the gym this evening close to sunset there was the most beautiful rainbow in the sky. I could see it most of the way home, and it looked like it dropped down in the vicinity of my house, and I thought to myself "I'm gonna find that pot of gold for sure." Of course it didn't happen. Looking to the west about 20 minutes before the sun set was so gorgeous - you could see the red sun advancing atop a thick layer of cloud giving the cloud an unusually pretty color, and the clear blue sky out over the direction of the Pacific Ocean. It's hard to drive when there is so much beautiful scenery all around you, but I made it home safe.

Last night presented one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen from this house. I took a lot of photographs, but none do it justice. For one thing, the photos show up a lot of yellow glow but miss the gorgeous blue in the sky. ...
- Woke Up With The Sun!
This morning I woke up with the sunlight streaking into my room. What a beautiful sight! Yesterday evening the wind and rain were fierce, and at one point it actually pulled my side door open, and the crash of the door against the railing...
- No Trip To Oz For Me (yet) (updated)
I heard gusts of wind throughout the night, but nothing frightening or long lasting. This morning I wouldn't know it was windy if I didn't see the palm trees, and even the crape myrtle in front of my kitchen window. The rainfall...
- Following Up
I have racked up a lot of things I need to follow up on, make phone calls or write emails on, etc. Today I really made a dent in my list, and I feel positively virtuous about it! Are there readers out there who do the same thing...
- Enjoying Family
I just took Ara to the train station, but the goodbye wasn't so difficult since I'll be seeing her this coming weekend. Justin's family birthday party was this past Sunday, and Ara and Katy (my sister's oldest daughter) came for the day. ...

Just a Short One.
