I hope when you are reading this that the sun is shining and that all the debris has been removed! The flood debacle certainly reminds us of the power of Mother Nature and the inability of most folks to avoid the deluges! The large redwoods outside of my cosy cyber-hut are outlined, once again, with clouds and rain. Up to now-just after the Equinox — we have received over 82" in our little corner of Cazadero. Perhaps we will have a contest of sorts — how much rainfall have you recorded this season?
