It's not always sunshine in Southern California!

Although this last year has primarily been a drought for southern California with still mostly brown hills and a lot less of my favorite wild mustard flowers... if you wonder if it rains in California... yes. Though So Cal. rain is not often and usually occurs as short lived rain storms or mild sprinkle rain with occasional mild thunder and lightening. It is actually welcomed by some as a change in the sunny weather pattern we usually have. Rained today and rain coming up again Friday April 13, 2012.
