Well you have heard the song "It Never Rains in Southern California" and I can report to you today, that in fact, it does rain here! All day long, and with pretty high winds as well. I don't remember the last time I was here when it was raining. The forecast is for several more days of rain, but we are only going back and forth between Liz & Sarah's and Gus and Amy's for the rest of our time here, so the rain won't be a problem.
One interesting thing is that Liz and Sarah's home is about a mile or so north of the path of aircraft landing at Los Angeles International Airport. They made sure that they were not buying a house right under the flight path. And the airplanes are usually fairly quite when headed to LAX. But not today - the wind is from the east, so the aircraft are taking off from the airport and heading in our direction, and since they are climbing up to altitude the engines have a grinding sound since they are pretty much at full power. But I like the sound of airplanes, so it is no big deal.
I love that your look at the bright side of everything. :-)

Enjoyed the stories of the rain and the airplanes. I love the guitar and the soft lighting in the room and the front lawn with all the cacti! Trace
ReplyDeleteThank you both for your comments, and so glad you liked the photographs!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm singing the song out loud now :-) Love the shot of the chair by the window with the guitar nearby. Looks like a peaceful place to play. The cacti on the front lawn are so cool looking! Thanks for the photos. betsey
