California Drought

[dragoneggs]

Hard to argue with the before/now picture showing the drought. But what I loved was exploring your website and all the variety and beautiful layout. Well done! I have made the drive from SF to Reno many times... how far off the beaten path are you?

Posted somewhere inline the other day was a comment from a California gardener about the drought and lack of water for the garden. Someone else made the suggestion to put rain catch barrels under the downspouts to get water for the garden.

I appreciate the compliment. The website was something I put together while helping the wife create one for her garden club. Sometimes - ok most of the time - she didn't appreciate my ideas on aesthetics. So while she embraced my how-to advice, she ignored my artistic input. :laughing: So while waiting for her to construct her precious web site, I made one of my own, I just couldn't think of an interesting focus so I came up with anything that popped into my head.

There hasn't been enough rain to fill even one rain barrel in all of N. California. I'm gonna stop taking baths until it rains. :thumbsup:

There's a red flag fire warning in Southern Oregon for forests between 1200 and 4000 feet. In January. I have never even heard of such a thing, and I was here during the 1976-1977 drought.

Lake Mendocino at 37% capacity. Supplies farms ranches several good sized towns. Folks wondering why took so long to figure out we have a problem.

You're joking right??? :confused3: It wouldn't have anything to do with the people that are in charge of most everything are the kind of people that think milk comes from the grocery store. In other words, our wonderful elected and appointed officials DO NOT HAVE A CLUE. But then they are elected, and we see what comes from those results everyday. :banghead:

If longer range models are correct the Pacific is about to open her water to you folks in California probably in Feb or March so not much longer. I believe it is called the Pineapple Express
