We've not had much here lately and even moving towards the end of September the weather is still mild and the sun is shining. It definitely won't last though and once it starts raining in the UK it doesn't seem to stop. xxEveryday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-28364526929450565442016-09-20T18:31:05.672-07:002016-09-20T18:31:05.672-07:00Thanks, Nathalie.

We have no rain in the near future. Forecast calls for sunshine and 100+ temps. by the weekend.

The average annual rainfall in the LA area is approx. 15 inches and we received about 9 1/2 inches. It could also be that we have more stringent watering restrictions than they.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-35244486707938034372016-09-20T11:15:41.445-07:002016-09-20T11:15:41.445-07:00I hope you get more rain soon.

Does the San Diego area get more rainfall than your area? It was very green there.

We are all hoping for some rain, this winter. A few slow, gentle rain showers would help a lot.

There are some clouds to the east, this morning, but I don't know if we'll get any rain. I did put the sprinklers on last night, so the garden did get some watering.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-34061260798660802272016-09-20T08:39:56.903-07:002016-09-20T08:39:56.903-07:00Oh my!

How about a couple of days with lots of scattered showers, enough to soak into the ground. I will wish that for you, and keep my fingers crossed. Fortunately, we have been receiving rain lately which has made up for the "drought-like" conditions of the past summer.
