Happy New Year to all! Looking at much needed rain in So Cal to start up in a few hours. My daughter says in No Cal they're being hit by wave after wave of atmospheric rivers. The rain is much needed so not bad news.

Meanwhile, I've been busy cutting back roses, this is the very last of them:

My irises seem to be going crazy this season:

And, my daughter's Bernadoodle puppy sporting her new raincoat:

Beautiful Rose! The sidewalk is wet! Not something I think of when I think of California!

(L.J. had a lot of rain up north of you and lost power for a while!)
