Wettest Year Yet...
It's official!
We have had the most rain in any year since records started being kept in 1871!
Sometime after 9 pm Wednesday, October 26, a light drizzle pushed us over the .22 of an inch of rain needed to break the record.
The old record set in 1990 was 57.58 inches of rain.
The normal is 42.52 inches of rain.
As of today, the total is 58.51 inches with another six to seven inches of precipitation expected in November and December. Of course, we had next to no rain in July and August.

My volunteer grapefruit tree has been repotted and will soon be brought inside for the winter. It looks healthier this year than it did last year.
The leaves continue to be raked and put on the garden; the irises are almost all cut back and ready for the winter.

The grass is still growing and you know what that means! :-)
