What is that big yellow ball?

After months and months ( okay, weeks..well days) of rain it has finally broken and the sun is actually shining! Quick look before it hides again.

The river that runs through our parking lot is now only two meters wide. Granted it is only three centimeters deep but it runs a lot of water. It is fun living here on the West Coast as it is so easy to laugh at the weather. With a day of sunshine the grass and the flowers are quickly coming to life. The green is brilliant and almost hurts the eyes.

I know that those who read this from the great white North scoff at our "bad" weather and I would not want to trade with them. But the ark jokes are getting old and no we are not collecting animals.
