The result of the last few days’ storms is finally putting some water where we need it. The nearby mountains are getting a whole lot of snow, which will become next summer’s water. Sometimes when there is an El Niño, the storms hit California all right, but go either north or south of our location, leaving us dry.
Our lemon crop (one tree’s worth) got a slow start due to my having to ration water last summer, but now it can pick up enough to give us some nice fat fruit. Recently the price of just one lemon in the supermarket has gotten close to a dollar! We may have to put a fence around our tree and hire an armed guard if this keeps up.
