SUNNY CALIFORNIA

 

(stock photo from Google Images)

I wonder what ad man or used car salesman came up with the phrase 'Sunny Californina'.  It is raining again, which I actually enjoy.  The relaxing sound of the rain falling on and dropping off of the Oak Trees, splashing in the puddles under the leaf canopy.  It is amazing how the water running down the gutter can sound like a babbling brooke.  But then Brooke, in the next room over, is babbling all the time anyway.  Hope you enjoy your day:

"This is The Day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."  Psalm 118:24

  6. I don't like too much of any weather in great amounts unless it's 70 and sunny for days on end......but the rain scares me. What really scares me is if it was all snow......Imagine the inches sheeeeshhhh.

  9. Just stopping by to see if you're posting a PPF entry. This blog caught my sight. Tell me about it brother. LOL I'm out here on the flight ramp of "Sunny Southern California" the past couple of nights getting drenched. I guess it could be worse... some folks got stuck up on the 'Grapevine' for a couple of days... sleeping in their cars, in crowded hotel hallways or restaurants, and lobbies. Phew!

    Terrific shot of the storms, John.

    LOL @ babbling 'Brooke' comment... hope you don't get in trouble.

  14. I am a winter person. I love the sun but winter is my season and I hate that I cannot experience winter properly here.... :-) I love splishing in puddles and the trickle of rain down my back and the drip drip off the leaves of the trees. Ever heard it on a tin roof.... My favourite sound. It can get so loud it drowns out all conversation! :-)

  18. I've actually been enjoying the rain this week too, maybe because I have not had to be in it a lot. I came by to see if you were joining in on PPF, but since I'm down south I thought I'd read this one. Stay safe.
