My private weather source down the road reported 1.73 inches of rain had fallen during our most recent storm. As usual, our gauge made it seem like like more, but she assured me her weather station is right on the mark! It was a perfect steady drenching rain and the garden loved it! All irrigation has been turned off...rain barrels are full...plants are clean and shiny. I couldn't resist taking a few photos of happy plants!
Our weekend visitor from the beach was treated to a rare sight...a family of coyotes, about six of them, chasing game in our yard and in the vacant acreage next door. I am always amazed when I get to see such a sight. I thought there was a lot of extra coyote early morning noise ( I slept in ) but was so glad he got to see the chase. Coyotes have been clocked at almost forty miles per hour and when you see hungry animals streaking around your garden that fast, you are sure to pay attention! I know coyotes are always hungry...but it made me wonder what they do during a three day rain storm. Are they hunkered down on someone's porch, in a cave, under a car, where are they? Do they hunt in the rain? I think the coyotes in our yard were famished after the rain. Those canines lead a hard life when compared to Lola's two-meal a day dining order!
