Precipitation in Paradise...

Precipitation in Paradise...  Starting today, we're due to get hammered by rain for the next four days.  The forecast is estimating a total of two inches, with the bulk coming tomorrow and Wednesday.

We're starting to see some fall color around us, at altitudes just a few hundred feet above the valley floor.  Our backyard choke cherries are just starting to turn, the first thing to turn on our property.  Debbie and I went for a drive on the road from Avon to Liberty yesterday evening, and saw quite a bit of fall color above us, and a little along the road.  Some photos:


Last night we had homemade sticky rice and mangoes.  The recipe we used resulted in rice that was much less sweet (and sticky) than the same dish when we've had it in restaurants.  I actually liked that better, but Debbie longs for the restaurant style.  We'll try that again.  We didn't have fresh mangoes to put on it, so we used canned instead.  They were ok, but not nearly as good as the real deal...

We're headed off for Debbie's hydrotherapy shortly. The doggies will miss their morning walk...
