Dad and I made a lot of progress after the fires. We've got to put in the drip irrigation and get planting. I'm so excited to pick out vegetables and herbs. I'm going to plant marigolds in the bordering flower boxes.
After all of this fire madness, of course we're supposed to get 2.5 inches of rain in two days (remember, we average 12 inches a year). Our city will be under mud. There's a general bad feeling about this Winter rainy season. Dad, Ben, Dave, Randy, and I spent the weekend hauling sandbags into trucks, up stairs, and along the V-ditch. We have over 2,000 sandbags between our backyard and Dave's backyard. We're considering evacuating. We'll see how much rain falls and how fast we get it.
Update: We ended up getting 2 inches of rain in 6 hours. No mudslides though!
