The first storm of the fall came this week.
In one day in Merced 3/4 of an inch of rain dropped. Its very unusual to have thunder and lightening with it.
This pretty well ends the commercial tomato season... too much mold in the product unless they are harvested immediately.
Highway 99 was replete with tomato trucks driving like made to make their way to the paste factories.
With mold in the air it will not be long until we see the cotton harvesters working their wonders through the fields and in their deposit long white caterpillar mounds upon the field.
I know it is darker now in the morning. Its much easier to collect sunrises on my walk.
Contrails in the sky are now much more visible. They are going North/South
We were in the Bay Area this week and it was Fleet week. This weekend is Columbus Day weekend.
The hills look really dry
The evening temps are down in the 40s where last week the were in the high 50's
The front yard grass loves the rain and the cool weather. Its the best its looked all year.
Baseball is just about over.
There is no sign this year that basketball will ever return to the airways.
Hockey is back.
Its long pants and tee shirt weather. The shorts get put away. It looks like the end of 90 degree weather.
All this happening with one storm. Yep.. That is California Central Valley weather for you.

Let's face it, 'trick, with the Giants out of the running, baseball is O-V-E-R for the year, but the good news: There's always next year!
