North of Fresno county is a county shaped like something you’d find in the back yard if you hadn’t cleaned up after your dog for awhile. Our place is directly north of Fresno, near the northern border of that other county. It was raining like crazy when I captured this picture. So far, over 3.5" (90mm) for three days. That’s a lot for where we live. We sure can use the rain, but it’s coming down so hard most of it will run off. Oh well, the Chowchilla River will deliver it to the nearby reservoir for the ducks to enjoy.Living in California has its drawbacks. Among many (high taxes, poor services, loony legislators—don’t get me started!), one of them is inaccurate weather forecasting. Even with satellites looking down on the entire Pacific Ocean, where most of our weather emanates, local forecasts leave much to be desired. The current storm system we’re experiencing was simply not predicted to have this intensity. In fact, it was going to be a simpy nothing-burger only three days ago. Showers and cloudiness, that’s all. Now the forecasts take the storm clear into next week. Who knows? Time to break out the Ouija board.

Wow, you just got our 3-YEAR average in 3 days! Consider yourself lucky.
It sprinkled enough to keep the horses damp here, so now they're rehydrated enough that we can ride them again.
Are your horses hydrated?
