It has been said,

that the rain
in Spain
falls mainly on the plain

The last three months
the rain
courtesy of a "normal winter pattern"
has fallen mainly
along the coastal plain.

breaks down
back into compost

gets a long cool drink
and a bit of a head start
on this years
growth season.

Helps with the danger of wild fire too
until next time

Perhaps a dip at the shore is just what I need

Periods of showers will then follow into Friday evening with the greatest coverage from late Thursday night into early Friday. Snow levels above 8000 feet, will gradually lower to around 4000 feet on Friday. There will be periods of stronger and gusty southwest to west winds in the mountains and high deserts into this evening, and again Friday into Friday evening. Saturday will be mostly dry and a little warmer with more showers for Sunday through early next week.
