Rain, rain go away

I can’t believe I am wishing for rain to cease in drought-plagued California. If predictions for El Nino are accurate, this may be a tough road to get this property done in a year. But Dino (my contractor) and I are determined!

Instead, I’m going to enjoy the bounty of the soil and focus on the beauty of nature as I watch the puddles expand on our construction site. I’ve included below, a collection of garden highlights over the last year and pictures I took of the grounds through various seasons.
