I REALLY LIKE RAIN BUT.....

We got back from San Francisco on Sunday afternoon.  It was a rainy drive pretty much all the way south. We left San Francisco in a downpour.  The central valley wasn't too bad, but the drive over the Grapevine into LA was teeming again.  Raining hard enough that cars and trucks were making their own misty clouds.  Really not pleasant driving.  We picked Wally up.  After three days playing with horses, a sheep, and other dogs in the rain, he smelled horribly.  He wasn't exactly an example of pristine dog-dom when I dropped him off on Thursday.  The days on the farm in the rain turned him into something worse than a park vagabond.  Miracle of miracles - Pat's Pet Grooming was open on Monday (because of the Christmas Holiday) - so Wally got his bath and a trim.  He looks a lot better - and smells like a dog rather than horse pee and whatever....

The rain was light during the day today, but tonight it's started up again.  Our pool is up to the brim, the trashcans are full of water.  At least, so far, our house hasn't leaked.  This is the first rainstorm in as many years that I can think of where some room or another hasn't had a leak.

We've had fires in the fire places today - lovely and cozy.
