It's Blooming Mushrooms

We drove down to the Nature Center in the Oceano Campground today and saw this crop of mushrooms.

I'm sure all the moisture we have had helps these guys grow.

There sure were a bouquet of them growing out of a root of a tree.

Strawberry Fields Forever...

The strawberry fields weathered the 5 days of rain just fine. They are planted on high mounds that are covered with plastic. The plants were planted in November and they will be producing strawberries in February or March. We are always ready when the time rolls around. Nothing better than berries and whipped cream!

We and the strawberry plants are both ready for some sunshine.

They Left... All Gone

The campers up and left, and I don't blame them. The favorite spots by the creek are under water and it is still raining. This is six days of almost none stop rain.

Even the ducks are wondering what the heck is going on.

We want sunshine... we want sunshine!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Today is Monday. It has been raining since Friday and I took this picture on Sunday morning. In addition to these 5 inches, we have gotten 2 1/2 more. And the weather gurus are saying two more days of rain before it is through for this storm. This is unusual for our area. We seldom get steady days of rain like this. We will be very happy to see the sun!

Wet Rocky

This yard art bird I've named Rocky. That is because his body is a large river rock. He stands guard over the rain guage and is taking his job quite seriously this winter. We had a short little break in the rain and the sun was just trying to break through. It didn't last long. It's been a very wet December.
