No, not quite, this is a shot I found from last Spring...we have just begun cooling down for autumn and while I'm told we occationally get rain in the beginning of October it usually dosn't really start the heavy stuff until later, maybe the beginning of November...(I say "I'm told" because this is only my second October here in Northern California - we moved up 470 miles from southern Cali about a year and a half ago...and I realllly don't know the patterns up here!)

It really is a beautiful green :iconlovenodplz: and we're low enough in elevation it stays green :w00t: and doesn't get all snow killed!

LOL, and we were about 200 miles from the mexican boarder down there and are still several hundred miles from the northern boarder with Oregon up here... the length is 770 miles/1239 km (north/south) and 270 miles/402 km(east/west) wide...it is a biiiigg state!

we also moved from the coast down south to the foothills near the Sierra Nevada mountains inland...big changes!

Indeed! All the oaks are still green but the grasses and everything on the ground is dry...we don't even have any patch of lawn for my poor bare toes to wiggle in...

while clearing files I came across this and it was like a long visual drink of something cool :giggle:

i feel so sorry for my dogs: because of the water restrictions people aren't really watering the little street lawns anymore (where my dogs go potty). and the grass is so dry you can actually hear it crack when you walk on it, and it hella hurts my dogs little feet :(

aww, poor little feet! We're on a well up here, so we're not on any restrictions just none planted...I may need to go find a city park and run around barefoot - my toes are in such withdrawl!
