We’ve had some very strange weather lately.  Humidity in the 40 percent range, and now, rain. Go figure. Not complaining, really. We need the precipitation and if we can’t get it in the winter, I’ll take it now.

I woke up at 3:30 in the morning to the sounds of a huge downpour, so after I got up for good I stepped out into the backyard to see if I could find any remnants of the moisture. While the grass was a bit damp, no evidence of the early morning storm was to be seen.

Still, the hibiscus was blooming . . .

and the grapes were starting to ripen.

Buddy napped one minute . . .

. . . and hoped to see a rabbit the next.

And while I was processing these photos, rain!
