It rained last night! I woke up this morning and told my husband we should rush downstairs and watch it coming down. Later we walked the neighborhood loving the wetness and smell. Our plants and trees look better already. This is our highest fire risk month, and sometimes we don't get any rain until Halloween, so I'm grateful we've had our thirst quenched a bit. There is no more rain forecast in the near future, but maybe that will change. I know parts of the country are flooded, but the west is parched. The animals can drink from this rain, and new growth will spurt.
And maybe I can take full or partial credit, because yesterday I insisted we rub our patio furniture with teak oil, and we ran out and couldn't do the second coat, as it said to do, before last night. So the furniture got drenched last night, and I will have to wait until it's dry again, sweep away the leaves and debris, before second and maybe third coat can be applied. If I hadn't been in the process of protecting my furniture from rain, well, think about it, would it have even rained?! I doubt it. Not that I'm superstitious, but I'm already figuring out how to keep any bad karma out of the A's playoff game with the Yankees on Wednesday. Better not to watch or listen, in case I affect the game. Go A's!!
