It drizzled most of the night and now, at mid-day, it's still drizzling and getting cooler. We have rain in our forecast for the next day or so, and it seems like it's raining over most of the state. We sure needed it.
In the desert, the response to rain by some of the flora is almost instant. Leaves perk, cactus pads plump, fragrances ensue. It's like a miracle. Just wait a day or so and my ocotillo forest will be sporting green, just in time for St. Patrick's day.
The kitties are confused. The pet door to the outside is open, but they're not going out. Paco and Fredo tried it briefly, but they were back inside where it's warm and dry (and there's food) in no time. Then Fredo walked up, looked me straight in the eye and asked, "What's the deal with this wet stuff, anyway? Mom?"
No outside work will get done today, I can assure you. I have a talking kitty to contend with.
