Nearly an inch of precipitation has fallen in the Sierra foothills during this Memorial Day weekend. The first measurable amount of rain since February.
What the sun couldn't do, this rain storm did...the snowpack on the lower mountains are gone. They are no longer visible from our vantage point.
The "green" has slowly turned into "sand" with a specks of the scrub oak dotting the countryside. The pools of water from the winter storms have all but disappeared.
What was so very hot just last week has been very, very mild and cool.
Life is still very, very good. Our "backyard" is still very, very beautiful. We cannot ask for anything more...
No matter what color be it green, sand or white.
