After over 160-something days, we had a ton of rain. And I don't mean a ton in the normal Southern Californian sense, where we say it poured and it really only sprinkled for 15 minutes or so. It really did rain. A lot. It started Sunday morning around 3 and was loud enough to wake us up. It rained on Sunday during the day and then last night. And then this morning, my favorite thing...it rained this morning after Shane left and I got to cuddle up in bed and fall asleep to the rain. I love when it rains. Everything smells so fresh and will be green for a little while. They say it could rain the next few days, although the sun is out right now, but it could happen. I can't even remember the last time it rained here. That explains why we get so excited over a little sprinkle.
We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday with some friends and bought a few pumpkins. There were lots of little babies there getting their pictures taken propped up against pumpkins. It was very sweet. We'll have our own little pumpkin here soon!
