Gearing Up for Waterfall Season: ‘08-’09
August 8, 2008
This winter, hunts for waterfalls will include further exploring in Las Trampas and Mt. Diablo. I will also attempt to find the elusive, little-known Tehan Falls, which is supposedly 60 feet tall. If we’re lucky, we’ll get a lot of rain this year, as it is both necessary (to combat fires) and enjoyable (for waterfall hunters).

The mesclun I planted a long time ago finally seems to be growing.
More Rain on the Way…

It looks like the rainy season is finally starting up here in northern California. Tomorrow’s forecast predicts up to half an inch of rain in the area!

Today we got the first rain of the season, and it was enough to make everything wet and clean the air. Here’s some moss that greened-up quite quickly once the rain started.
Feels Like Fall
September 16, 2007
Fall is definitely making itself known here in Northern California. The high today was only about 75, with constant crisp breezes.
My cool-season vegetable garden, is, however, doing well. I have hundreds of arugula seedlings and the Swiss chard is just starting to come up.
Although I could care less for the cool temps, some rain would be great right about now.
