| Manchester Reserve after the January rains |
We're finally starting to dry out after the "Pineapple Express," an atmospheric river carrying moisure-dense air from Hawaii, swamped us with several inches of rain in a short time. After so many years of drought, our soil was hard-baked, but the rains came dispersed over many days, so the hard ground had a chance to absorb. The local flora is LOVING it... and it smells fantastic outside. Our normally brown surroundings look as lush and green as the hills of Ireland!
