Over 4 inches of rain since the last report, which is a relief.  We're still behind the curve, but there is more rain in the forecast for the coming week. Strong gusty winds this morning and usually warm, so we may see the predicted thunderstorms today. Fortunately, the rain in our area has not been the extreme downpours plaguing north of us, so no issues with landslides or flooding here, at least so far. Still quite a few tourists in the area during this week, but the ocean was too rough for water sports. Lots of migrant birds in our gardens and I was able to spot the first ever Western Bluebird I've seen in the 15 years we've lived here. Great to see.
