No rain since the last report and none in the forecast. We may be pretty much through the rain season at this point. Total rain for the year is 33.74 inches, which is below the 40 inches we hope for each year. If the major El Nino predicted comes, we may have a warmer than normal summer and so could face some water restrictions. Time will tell. We have had some heavy dew this week, so plants are staying moist. Our Pussy Willows are in full bloom, to the delight of the big Bumble Bees. Buds on our Wisteria are swelling quickly. The local Whale Festivals have brought tourists in, though it seems that there haven't been that many actual whale sightings.
