9. Dang! Thunder!

I was just out making sure nothing's gonna blow away and there's a big rain storm coming over the pass! And now thunder. We had a Santa Ana-like event yesterday, I hate those. Today we were predicted to hit the mid 90s but it's not even 70 right now and getting cooler, I had to close the windows already.

I knew things were going to get weird, I even saw a jackrabbit last night, coming up to munch on my flowers. I chased off a deer the evening before, wasn't even sunset and it was waiting for me to go in the house. The neighbors' cat ratted it out, though, so I was ready for it.

Stay safe, I'm just dealing with residuals, you have the real thing in your neighborhood.
