The tropical weather formation known as the "Pineapple Express" has arrived and is inundating our back yard. We thought this was going to be a "La Nina" year, which would be a low rainfall year, but it's acting like an "El Nino" year instead. Yesterday the wind was blowing hard and blew down a lot of palm fronds on the streets and yards, but today it's just raining. And raining. And raining. At least with the Pineapple Express, it's relatively warm wind and rain, unlike storms coming out of the Gulf of Alaska.
We've had so much rain the last couple of days that the planter around the garage is full of water and the area behind the garage is so sodden that you sink in a couple of inches if you step in certain areas back there. Roy's guys showed up to trim the pine tree branches today in spite of the rain; they would not have been able to do it if the wind had been as strong as it was yesterday, but rain wasn't a problem for them.
