Rain

It's finally raining here! It's been about a month since we've had any real rain - we got about a third of an inch on September 14th. Other than that, just a couple days with some really scattered showers. I think that according to the drought maps, we're still in a severe to extreme drought. We're so happy that we have an irrigation system at the new house! No more having to move hoses around all evening and remember to turn off the sprinklers. Too bad our water bill is still high. But I think Charlotte appreciates having all that thick green grass to run through.

Here's the view from my office window. I know, not much to look at - a parking lot and a hill. The rain makes it look pretty depressing. But at least I have a window.


And this is what Charlotte does most of the day when I bring her to work - I'm very jealous!
