California rains are a bit different than I have experienced in the north and in the south. When rain comes here, it never rains very hard by comparison but it will last for a week or so. What we really want to have in our three growing seasons is an ‘intermittent rain’. Rain followed by sunshine then rain and more sunshine works well for California’s crops… even those grown in our national forests. 😉
There is a quiet beauty on a California rainy day.
