The rains have begun to turn our dreary California landscape into a bright green. This little puddle is now a pond.
While a lot of California is considered to be “out of the drought”, where I live, we are still considered to be in drought conditions. We have more storms on the way, which will help with our drought, but the aquifers are still below normal levels. Unless California considers continuing stringent water control and water storage problems, these rains will mean nothing if we have little rain in the years to come.

Sounds like a problem that is only going to get worse as climate change occurs.
Yeah…but I think where I am we will see a lot less water. This coming week, more rain, but after that? I am enjoying while I can.
Seems like you are up and about again, which is nice to see!
Feeling on the mend now, not all the way there, but almost 😊
