Our Governor has officially declared us to be in drought conditions. For some reason it took him quite a while to do this, and still there are no restrictions on water usage being imposed, at least here. The reservoirs are quite low and not being refilled by snow in the Sierras, or by rain elsewhere. The Central Valley is dry as a bone and our beautiful hills are brown, not green as they should be. Yesterday, while we were at the dog park, lots of sirens went off...a fire in the hills...quickly out, thanks to our alert Fire Departments. Today the winds are blowing.
This is (unfinished) rain cloth #2:
I decided to make small Prayers for Rain prints...to hang on trees, put in library books, give to friends, just deposit here and there...
This is a little leaf that settled on the dashboard of my car...a friend commented about how similar the shape of the raindrop is to a candle flame...for hope...for rain...
And here's Miss Gilly at the dog park, sniffing around...
