I think we're finally out of the drought cycle as we've had days and days of rain with no complaints heard from anyone. As of today, we've probably had about three inches. We actually got excited to see a trickling little stream flow down the rocks on Boulder Creek Rd. We need many more weeks of rain to soak the forest floors and extinguish the still burning fires. We've had a few cold nights and only lit a fire a few times, but there's a big push of cold air heading our way this week with temperatures dropping into the teens at night and 30-40 degrees for daily highs. It's winter soup and cornbread time again.
Happy Summer Solstice! It was a beautiful start to this day. The typical mountain fog had settled in when I got up at 6:30 but burned off shortly after. I always go outside when I first get up, scan for wildlife, and walk around soaking in the morning peace and calm. Did about 20 minutes of stretchy yoga, showered and had a light breakfast of cream of buckwheat with ghee-fried peaches. I still felt a little full from eating Italian food with Janice last night. We go out at 4:30 and take our time eating and talking, have a glass of wine and Friday night is dessert night. Janice is doing better. It'll be a year in August since she lost Ernie. I left the breakfast dishes in the sink and headed to our Murphy Farmers Market. First stop was "Healing Ways" produce farmers for fresh Swiss chard, butter crunch lettuce, and a bunch of young summer squash and zucchini since all of mine are falling off the plants....
