Lots of weather going on in the West! I took this picture from the Ralph's parking lot between rain showers. Today has been mostly rain, continuous starting about 1pm. We did our walk this morning with just a starting drizzle, but hurried home. Tonight was full downpour with KoKo in his sweater and I in my rain hat and heavy jacket. Of course we got wet!! But I don't have enough arms for my cane, KoKo's leash, AND an umbrella. We toweled off and ran the little electric heater in the bathroom for a bit.
I'm glad this, so far, is not such a heavy rain that hillsides start sliding. Of course, the malva and the oxalis are already growing back! I must find a gardener, mine retired the first of the year and the yard is getting too wild.
I am reading "Lessons in Chemistry", but, so far, I don't find it a bit humorous. On about page 99 the "hero" is killed!! And the limitations of mid 20th C for woman are very distressing. I remember them well and they were not funny at all. Since this is for the Lit Group I will continue reading, but hope it gets a bit more cheerful, if not downright funny.

Hi, Del, hope you and Koko stay dry in this crazy weather! Like you I found Lessons in Chemistry downright painful at times… so much sexism and discrimination, and misunderstanding of her view of the world.
