We are having weather.

Rare indeed. It is wet. It is dark. It is not cold but it is kind of warm raw.

It is nice actually. A change. We need the rain which sounds weird when you consider we live in the desert. But, deserts need rain. True.

It has been a long drought in California and we have had the same. Palm Springs is an oasis to a great extent. Water in the ground. But we have carried it to an extreme. Way past the ability to sustain all the green stuff. Water gets pumped in.

The rain today will not do much for the water table but it is a nice superficial treatment for the lawns and plants. Cleaning off the dust at least.

It is also nice to get that dark sort of New Englandish light. At least it feels like Boston to me.
